why does plugin container use 56% of my processor power slowing my machine down? I can't print maps from Google either when this wasn't a problem before. I have to say that Mozilla are going the way of "another well known software house".

1) Why does plugin container eat 56% of my processor power doing nothing except increase global CO2 emissions, wearing out my cooling fan and more to the point, making me annoyed. 2) I can no longer print maps from Google Maps. 3) Can anyone recommend a decent browser? Mozilla are morphing into an evil twin of another large and well known software house.


This happened

Every time Firefox opened
