ok. and, you need to watch for rabbit droppings. :-D
seriously, you would do well to check fans for build up every
few months. dust/lint on fans and heat sinks should not be
allowed to accumulate.
watching with "sensors", make a note of cpu temp and fans rpms
with firefox loaded and unloaded when fans and sinks are clean.
then make notes every 2 weeks as dust/lint builds. you will see
a notable increase by 2 months.
if you keep a box on floor, cleaning should be done even more
often.
Oh sorry forgot to say this is a desktop :)
matters little. for desktops with variable speed fans, cpu
heating and fan speed up still applies with firefox.
and again, watching "top", you will/may/should see a relation
to fan speed and cpu usage when running firefox.
i do not see it as a noticeable amount on my boxes for several
reasons;
1- i mount power supply fan to exhaust flow from supply
2- i mount box fan to draw fresh air in.
3- on a couple of boxes, i leave side cover off for
max air flow.
