I installed Firefox 3 on Windows XP SP3 on my dell laptop. The Firefox process CPU usage keeps varying between 2-3% and 6-7%. I was totally surprised by this behavior, how such popular software is having so obvious problem.
His is really a very serious issue. It can drain your laptop battery very quickly. My advice to all the users of this blog is to stay away from Firefox 3 till they release an update to fix the issue. You may think of switching back to Firefox 2 or may be even to internet explorer.
After searching the net to fix the problem I have found the following solution but none of them work in my case. You may try if they can help you.
First options I found is:
One user fixed this problem on my system (Windows XP) by unchecking the two boxes in Tools -> Options -> Security -> “Tell me if…”He also deleted the urlclassifier3.sqlite file in C:\DoOne more solution state that :
The fix is actually pretty simple and involves changing the state of “browser.cache.memory.enable” in Firefox’s “about:config“.
- Type “about:config” into the FIrefox 3 RC1 location bar and tell it you’ll be careful (you’ll see what I mean).
- When the list of configuration options shows up, type “cache” without the quotes into the search bar as shown above. A list of all entries will appear with the word “cache” in them.
- Change the state of the “browser.cache.memory.enable” entry to “false” by double clicking on the entry itself. Make sure the state has indeed changed to “false”.
- Restart the browser and you’re done.
Kindly do let me know If someone is having a working solution for this problem.
