How to remove the CPU 100% with Firefox & Flash


Recommended Posts

Posted

its been annoying when you go on a website with flash Ads then you'll see your CPU usage booms up to 100%, so

I started using FlashBlock lately. By default, it doesn’t load any flash.

To summarize the steps to reclaim your CPU from Firefox:

1. Install FlashBlock plugin http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

2. Disable Java

Ads? what are those.

You don't need flashblock, you need adblock plus. You will love it, i haven't seen ads in years, and when i am on someone else's pc, its a different and worse net experience. I gotta love AdBlock.

I got one better: the NoScript extension for Firefox. :)

The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and others mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank), and provides the most powerful Anti-XSS protection available in a browser.

NoScript's unique whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality...

You can enable JavaScript, Java and plugin execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.
