Problem with laptop fan

The fan turns on and very loudly when i'm on Firefox, and it won't stop. I checked the system temperature with sensors at startup, after a day with no use, and it shows some high temperatures:

soc_dts1-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +63.0°C  

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:       +61.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1:       +61.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2:       +64.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3:       +63.0°C  (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)

acpitz-virtual-0

Re: Problem with laptop fan

I am fairly certain your ISA adapter is not at 6280°C.  It would be glowing white.  I think it may be off by two orders of magnitude.
The other temps (60ish) are not unreasonable.

In firefox, what does htop say about what threads are pegged?
