Firefox causes cpu to heat up no issue on other browsers visiting same sites
Firefox is my go to browser but as of late it is forcing me to use Safari as a default. The issue I am having is firefox is causing my system to run to hot causing the fans to go nuts. Even if I have no other applications open. As soon as I close the browser the system cools and fans resume to normal. Certain websites have a bigger effect than others on the overheating issue. The odd thing is other browsers have no issue running the same pages.
