Afterwards you can just use an air spray every once in a while.<br /><br />Don't be too quick in blaming Firefox as the culprit. Your problem is primarily a ventilation problem that exists with numerous Dell laptop models. Any other program that puts enough pressure on your CPU should yield the same outcome.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892295559060324750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20663524.post-28487390465867676532010-07-18T14:01:29.533+03:002010-07-18T14:01:29.533+03:00I'm using mozilla-swfdec, instead of Adobe or ...I'm using mozilla-swfdec, instead of Adobe or Gnash, precisely because mozila-swfdec never launches a Flash object until the Play icon is clicked, which significantly decreases the CPU load.<br /><br />Additionally, I'll emphasize that CPU overheating just started happening a couple of days ago. It never happened before.Martin-Érichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394315280689943764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20663524.post-84246023638189241382010-07-18T13:15:00.797+03:002010-07-18T13:15:00.797+03:00set toolkit.storage.synchronous to 0.

That's my problem and my CPU (and laptop) killer.<br /><br />I have basically two applets that make me more or less safe: Gnome sensors applet and system monitor (show CPU).<br /><br />I tend to stop the thing before it reaches to critical levels, but anyway... it's a problem because sometimes you don't even see the little Flash AD in the page you're browsing that it's killing you!<br /><br />What I want to say is: I'm using chromium, so I don't think Firefox it's to blame here. Are you sure it's not Flash?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639622062623030066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20663524.post-90072788441373930222010-07-18T12:42:39.795+03:002010-07-18T12:42:39.795+03:00- Did you try to start Firefox without a ~/.mozill...- Did you try to start Firefox without a ~/.mozilla/?
