With respect, in my opinion, a better way to handle a bug report like this would be to make sure the developer of the app sees it, because he should know if he's fixed the bug. It's enough trouble to report a bug in the first place; asking me to retest the app a year later, when the developer hasn

I've also noticed that sometimes on resuming, Firefox doesn't freeze, but it does use 100% CPU. When this happens, I think, but am not sure, that it correlates with having Gmail and/or Google Reader open in a tab in Firefox. I think that a few times, closing those tabs has cut the CPU usage back
