Page 2 of 3 Next comes this issue of the extensions I'd installed. Over time I'd installed quite a few extensions to try them out; but the only ones I used with any regularity were Forecast Fox and Web Developer. Unfortunately Forecast Fox is one of the extension mentioned on the "Problem Extension" page as having memory leaks (though no mention of CPU gobbling) so I thought it best to uninstall this and all the other extensions to see if that would cure the problem. Using a WYSIWYG rich text editor is something I do all the time for maintaining this and other web sites and so abandoning this form of input was not really going to be an option. These editors abound on blog sites too to I was really hoping that this was not going to be the problem. I decided to leave this possible cause to the end and only address it if nothing else worked (actually I would probably switch to another browser than abandon using rich text editors). The final possible cause was conflicting profiles. Now I've never used anything other than the default profile; but I did read elsewhere that installing version after version on top of each other can lead to problems in the profile. So this was a possibility that needed to be addressed. |
