Hi guys,
I've never posted in this forum before, but I'm having a problem I can find no solution for. Since two days ago, every time I click on a link in Firefox (both 9.3 and 1.0PR) my processor usage spikes to 100% for a few seconds (pausing everything going on on my computer) while the page loads and then goes back to normal. It's very pronounced on TFP pages and TotalFark, less so but still present on all other pages. I've not installed anything new, scans show no adware, spyware or virii, and it doesn't matter what else is running (tried with nothing else, with video playing, with ABC BT client running, etc.). I cleared the cache and cookies, no luck. Turned off java in the browser, no dice. Any ideas what the problem could be? I've scoured the Mozilla forums, posted and got no response...it's bugging the hell out of me and I've not been able to pinpoint what's causing it.
