Plugin-container process using 50+% CPU
There is some process called plugin-container initiated by firefox/thunderbird that sometimes uses 50% or more CPU.
Someone has this problem too?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Plugin-container process using 50+% CPU
well, if you don't visit any websites that use flash, it won't use any CPU
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yeah, that's flash player for you. I use a program called cpulimit. If it gets too out of hand try that.

You can also try a Firefox plugin called flashblock. I think it's also available in the AUR. It requires a single click to allow flash, and you can whitelist certain sites.
You might also look at Adblock Plus.
