I have exactly the same problem. If I go to YouTube and watch a video I'll see Firefox taking about 35% of my cpu...and my load-average goes up to 1.0 (and that on my system is too much). I"m currently running Firefox 2.0.0.14 with the latest flash. The other day I tried Firefox 3 (newest beta) but after a while it started behaving the same way. Initially I thought it was better but then I realized it was about the same (with this flash-cpu issue). I even deleted my complete profile (~/.mozilla) and created a new one from scratch (I had to install all my add-ons, themes, bookmarks...) but the problem still exists...so now I know it's not related to my profile. The add-on I'm running is Adblock-Plus. I know there's another one to block flash content but I don't want to do that (what modern site doesn't have flash?)... If you go to the Adobe Penguin.SWF Blog and check the comments for the latest release of the plugin for Linux: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2007/12/flash_player_9_update_3_final.html#comments ...you'll see there are many people upset with this performance issue. So...I just would like to know if we have to live with this (while there's a newer version of the flash plugin) or is there really a workaround for this? -- Jorge . -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
