Firefox text inputs maxing CPU
OK, this might well be my own fault - I went on a bit of a programs cleanup yesterday and could have uninstalled something I shouldn't have - but if that's the case then hopefully it may be easy to figure out what I need to put back. When using Firefox (IE is fine), typing into a standard text box on a standard form, like this one I'm typing into now, is taking my CPU usage as high as 100% and as such the text input is absolutely crawling across the screen and taking some time to catch up with my fingers. I tried re-installing Firefox but this did not help (though would I need to uninstall first? and if so is there a way to back up my settings?)
Any clues?? No members have liked this post.

Re: Firefox text inputs maxing CPU
as for backing stuff up in mozilla "C:\Documents and Settings\(Whatever your windows login is)\Application Data\Mozilla"
but i would probably try re-installing java or something.. hehe i dunno what type of script the board is but it sounds like its a plugin missing or corrupted.. neil No members have liked this post.

Re: Firefox text inputs maxing CPU
Just re-installed Java and that hasn't worked. Shall look at uninstalling Firefox and then starting again!

Re: Firefox text inputs maxing CPU
urgh, tried reinstalling everything, tried a few system restore points, no luck. Any more ideas? System is two years old so maybe a full refresh after exams could have some advantages...

Re: Firefox text inputs maxing CPU
Can you go back a version of firefox and see if you still have the problem? Also, have you tried looking at their forums to see if anyone else is having problems?
