Right after chancing to Firefox 33.0 CPU use jumped insanely compared to 32 or any earlier. Even when I'm not opening anything or there's no active loading CPU use doesn't go below 50% use, when opening pages it takes easily double compared to earlier versions. Pages load slower and rolling them down is un-even.

Basically this version needs some serious work to reduce the load it puts on the memory/CPU, no amount of new options/safety justifies this amount of waste. KK

Went back to 32.3, CPU use went down to half, memory usage the same. Exactly what did you add to it to explain/justify that much memory/CPU need?

Tell me when you've fixed 33's massive glutting and I'll use it, this version isn't worth second look.

From what I've seen/heard, Add-ons seem to be the problem, but considering that I use them for a reason...

I hope the next version fixes the discrepancy in FF 33, I'd *like* to use newest version of Firefox.
