Hey Firefox community,
After updating to Firefox 124.0 on Windows 11, I’ve noticed high CPU usage, even with just a few tabs open. My laptop fan runs constantly, and performance slows down, especially when watching YouTube or using other media-heavy websites.
What I've Tried:
Disabled extensions & ran in Safe Mode – no change
Cleared cache & cookies – still high CPU usage
Checked for malware – system is clean
Tried a fresh Firefox profile – issue persists
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated!
System Info:
Windows 11 (Latest Updates)
Firefox 124.0
Thanks in advance!
