Re: Something is driving CPU Usage up to 100%

The date and time was Thursday, July 09, 2009 2:09:04 PM, and on a whim,
Richard Fangnail pounded out on the keyboard:

Hi again Richard,

Start FF in Safe Mode (look in Firefox folder in All Programs. Is the
problem still there?

Try the suggestions here:

Uninstalling and reinstalling rarely fixes anything, as the problem most
likely is related to the profile and installed extensions/add-ons. You
could create a new profile and start over.
