Re: [FireFox] firefox 3.0.4 using 100% of cpu on exit
You said you reinstalled Fx but did you do a Clean Install after completing an Uninstall based on the instructions here?

| 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. |

| 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.

| 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... |

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'?

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

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. |
