I'm not seeing this either, and I'm on a fairly similar setup to you - current x86-64 Rawhide with the proprietary Flash installed. I also have Adblock Plus, Greasemonkey and Noscript. Firefox works very reliably for me, I don't have any trouble with it. No excessive CPU usage (it's got eight tabs open right now and isn't using any CPU according to htop, while it's just sitting there). For a while I *was* having trouble with any Flash video content causing Firefox to hang after it stopped playing the next time I changed pages. This turned out to trace back to PulseAudio: the PulseAudio server wasn't running right. Once I fixed that, Firefox stopped misbehaving. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
