Title:
plugin-container uses 100% of CPU and does not release the resources
after tabs are closed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
I've noticed that the latest version of Firefox tends to have this
issue.
After opening a few tabs with various sites (I believe the most common
culprit here are sites that use some sort of Flash), I notice that
plugin-container is using 100% of at least one CPU, and sometimes it's
driving load on more than one core.
For example, here's the info from top:

I have two intensive activities going on here... one is an rsync
backing up a portable hard disk, the other, is plugin-container,
launched by Firefox.
I've seen this behaviour before, without running rsync or any apps
other than firefox.
After a while, plugin-container just pegs one or more cores on my CPU,
and remains that way even AFTER closing all but one tab. The only way
I have found to release these resources, and ease the load on my CPUs
is to kill off Firefox. Plugin-container just seems to get stuck.
This also affects video streaming playback as the high CPU usage
causes streamed video to stutter.
