in the last couple of days - Firefox has been ramping up it's use of CPU to the point where when I play a YouTube video - the computer freezes up. When I check processes in task manager (its a windows computer at home) - Firefox is using 80-95% of the CPU. any ideas what could make Firefox suddenly become a memory hog?
