Why Is Firefox v145.0 Using So Much CPU After the Update?

Hey Firefox community,

Since updating to Firefox 145.0 on Windows 11, I've been experiencing persistent high CPU usage, even with just a few tabs open. My laptop fan runs constantly, and overall performance has noticeably degraded, particularly when streaming YouTube videos or browsing other media-heavy sites.

Troubleshooting Steps I've Already Taken:

  • Disabled all extensions and tested in Safe Mode with no improvement
  • Cleared cache and cookies but CPU usage remains high
  • Scanned for malware and system is clean
  • Created a fresh Firefox profile but issue persists

Has anyone else encountered this after the update? I'd really appreciate any suggestions or potential fixes!

System Details:

  • OS: Windows 11 (fully updated)
  • Browser: Firefox 145.0

Thanks in advance for your help!
