Public bug reported:
Firefox regularly eats up 100% or 200% CPU usage while just gmail and
google calendar pages are opened.
Shutting down firefox does not really shut it down, only the window
disappears, the processes that eat CPU stay, so restarting firefox does
not work until I manually kill these processes.
While they show up as "firefox" in $ top, I now managed to activate the
"thread view" where these processes show up as "mpegaudioparse0" and
"mpegaudioparse1" processes.
Actually this might not be a bug in firefox but in one of the
extensions, e.g., flashplugin, but I am not sure. Firefox should kill
these harshly when exiting, so that restarting firefox is a possible
solution to CPU-eating buggy plugins and extensions.
I am using ubuntu 12.4.
