I swore I would never use Chrome. But right now it is the better browser. At least it doesn't grab over 50% of my CPU out of the blue for no reason.

I too have switched to Chrome until Mozilla Firefox gets this issue straightened out. Chrome is working great!!! My computer no longer freezes up, slows down, and it doesn't appear to be a resource hog! I can have several windows open at the same time and my speed is not affected. I'm very impressed with Chrome at the moment. And very frustrated with Firefox!

Try updating your plugins. If firefox is still using CPU and memory, try running it in Safe Mode
