Re: [FireFox] firefox 3.0.4 using 100% of cpu on exit
Isn't browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone only for a scan after download? I see that happening (Avast icon spins) but on exit only FF uses 100% cpu, no Avast action detected. In my case it's about 3-4 seconds, regardless of number of downloads, number of open tabs, or anything else I can determine.
It just seems FF is doing it's own work. |

Thanks for the reply - I think I'll give that a shot, maybe disable download status bar scan call and see what happens.

Added in version 3.x. I think it will use whatever default AV is to scan

said by Grail Knight  :Are you disabling the auto AV scan in Fx only or disabling the AV on the computer? You may know this or not but just go into about:config and filter to this entry. browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone Double-click the value and change it to false. When the heck did they add that? Scanning after download is the main reason I use Download Statusbar. Do you know if there's an entry for specifying the location of your scanner? Or is it 'smart'?

did not know i could do that thanks. trying to find a way to disable autoscanning in mcaffee for just the one directory ff uses, not having any luck there.
its not really a problem persay, but if i keep killing off the ff process when it hangs like this im afraid im gonna cause data corruption sooner or later... |

yes and yes..
i wonder, it was suggested some where that this can be caused by an antivirus app scanning the database ff writes to when it closes. i cant seem to find a way to exclude a directory so later on ill disable the av and see if it still happens. |

You said you reinstalled Fx but did you do a Clean Install after completing an Uninstall based on the instructions here?

| when i exit out of firefox it dose not close, it uses anywhere from 50% to 100% of the cpu, ive read in some places this has to do with the profile but ive even replaced it with a new blank one, i get the same behavior this lasts any where from 30 secconds to infinity and bogs down the system to a point i end up killing the process. any idea's whats causing it? |
