I remember Firefox was biting me with this too at some time. The |
16 |
solution for me was to go to Edit->Preferences, and in the "Security" |
17 |
tab uncheck the "Block reported attack sites" and "Block reported web |
18 |
forgeries" checkboxes. The issue was that those features use sqlite to |
19 |
update internal databases of thousands of "malware" sites, and updates |
20 |
to these lists were bringing my CPU to its knees. |

So try that and see if it helps. |

Btw, if you're on a Core2 and a recent GCC, you might want to change |
29 |
that to "-march=core2" or "-march=native". |
