my firefox is using too much resources which in turn raises the cpu usage and it increases my cpu temperature so i am giving you the tas manager and the addons screenshot to help u better understand the problem http://i32.tinypic.com/10nb5m0.png http://i32.tinypic.com/1zx64iv.png

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

You can disable the Crash Protection feature / Plugin Container and see if that helps your problem.
