    Firefox useing 100% CPU

    Every so often FF will use 100% of CPU, if I close ff and then reopen problem goes away. Would it be better to unistall and reinstall again, if so how do I remove and save my profile. confused.

    This is the one problem Firefox has and it's blighted the programmers for ages. As far as i know there is no cure for it yet other than closing Firefox down and starting it up again :?

    It happens to me about once a week, normally when i've got 10 or more tabs open.
