Question

Hello, I'd like to report issue with OpenStudy.

Each time I use a gecko based browser (firefox) I get a high CPU usage when using OpenStudy.
(This only occurs on OpenStudy).

I've tried:
Complete re-install of firefox new profile, etc (doesn't fix the issue).
I've tried different forks of firefox (same issue, still high CPU usage).

Answer 1

Snippet of the process taking up nearly all my CPU resource.

Answer 2

I do not know if this issue happens to anyone else I really like to have OpenStudy on firefox, due to I cannot live without my add-ons, they make things so much more tolerable.

Answer 3

Logs:
(I cannot create a minidump).

Answer 4

Bluemoon?

Answer 5

Palemoon*

Answer 6

Sorry we were talking about blue lobsters.

Answer 7

Use Google Chrome for god sake

Answer 8

I'm running like 100 tabs on google chrome.

Answer 9

Palemoon (x86) is basically firefox optimized for windows.
I do not want to use Chrome, I dislike it heavily, too much information is shared without any respect to your privacy.

Answer 10

But there's already an official firefox for windows.

Answer 11

Anyways, I think Chrome is a better browser.

Answer 12

Plus I need my add-ons, Chromium's API for extensions is just rubbish in my opinion.

Answer 13

We all have our preferences...

Answer 14

Firefox sux expect for the part of private browser

Answer 15

Your opinion, personally I like firefox.
To me it does not suck in anyway.

Answer 16

Its slow hello wear u glasses

Answer 17

Not really? It renders on-par with Google Chrome in fact in benchmarks it's better.
Plus the speed of a webpage really depends on what you are getting from your ISP.

Answer 18

Well this has to be some problem coming from your browser. It doesn't happen to any of us. I bet it's even faster on IE. How else can we help you?

Answer 19

I don't believe it's my browser, I seriously think it's OpenStudy, since this only happens when I get on OpenStudy.

Answer 20

Its Racist

Answer 21

The people who run Openstudy's code are usually far from sight, so I don't think you'll get an answer to your question.
Just add a water-cooler and OC.

Answer 22

Could also be the dynamic chat at the bottom of the page.
Try closing any if open.

Answer 23

Could be, let me try something.

Answer 24

Well it didn't work, nice suggestion though.

Answer 25

\(\large \ Hi,\)

If you run a 64-bit operating system, you can choose to download and install a native 64-bit version of Pale Moon, a so-called "x64 build".

Without having to use the 32-bit compatibility layer in 64-bit Windows, native 64-bit browsers in general run faster and more efficient than their 32-bit counterparts, although synthetic tests may not provide you with conclusive results. Most notably, you may see lower CPU \(\ strain\) running Pale Moon x64 on complex/processor-intensive web sites or sites with large amounts of data like media sites.

Unfortunately, there are also some drawbacks, mainly in the areas of compatibility with third-party 32-bit components to extend browser functionality. Most media-plugins are not available in an x64 version, for example.

Therefore, there are some very important things to note before you decide if you want to use an x64 build:

You will need an x64 Windows Operating System! Just having a 64-bit processor is not enough, you will also have to have a 64-bit version of Windows (i.e. Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 8 64-bit). Note: this version does not run on Windows XP x64!

Native 64-bit graphical hardware acceleration is still in need of development by a large number of driver manufacturers. You may have to switch to the 32-bit build of Pale Moon if you run into issues because of this; a solution is not always available.

Answer 26

Goodness, you must be the guy behind writing green text :-P.

My machine has only 4GB of DDR3 RAM, so sadly no x64 build for me :-(.
Though you did remind me I do have hardware acceleration turned on for Pale Moon, I will try to see if using hardware acceleration is causing any problems for why OpenStudy is giving me a high CPU usage.

Answer 27

Glad I could be useful, dear.

People still run 4GB?
