When viewing the Bing homepage in Firefox on my Mac it always uses very high CPU. I don't have this problem with other sites in Firefox. Nor do I have it using Bing in other browsers. How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
