Fedora Users — Re: Firefox 3 hogging 90% CPU, can anything be done about this?

I had the problem with FF taken too much of my resources, so I do not use it
as often.
I use Chrome more often. FF has more tools available.

:-)

What does Adobe have to do with Firefox?

If your problem is with websites that use Flash, then it's a Flash issue, not a
Firefox issue. Do you have still the problem when you don't use those
websites? What if you remove the Flash plugin from your Firefox installation?
Does the problem go away?

If your problem is with Flash and not with Firefox, then are you using the
32-bit or 64-bit version of Flash? Does it happen only with the Flash stuff on
one particular website, or with several? Do you still see the problem on
commonly-used Flash sites like youtube?
