Firefox take near 70% of the CPU

Support Software & Applications

Hi,
Firefox 10x.y take all the 8 cpu I have to simply run specific website.
I tested with Chrome, Chromium and Vivaldi and the problem exist only with Firefox.
Also, I tested many of the google-help-me solution without success.

I know that this not the Nvidia driver bc I play Steam Game with very acceptable FPS and fluidity.

Is it possible that is not resolvable at all.

My config:
Testing branch
Wayland
KDE Plasma 5.26.5
KDE Framework 5.101.0
Qt: 5.15.7
Nvidia: 525.78.01
up to date and recently installed

I have (re) installed my system two times with the same result.

Any idea ?

Dunno, but I’ve found this after a quick spin around the web…and there’s plenty of info on the subject too , but you’ll have to sift through plenty it of course :wink:

PS, if you post your system output here, maybe somebody more in the know than myself might be able to help :point_up:

FYI, browser performance is not related to video game performance.

Have you tried the usual when FF misbehaves? Fresh profile, no extensions, then add extensions one by one to see if an extension is causing the issue. Have you tried about:support and used any of the options there?

Also, I refresh Firefox and deactivate all extension, the acceleration flag is set:

Resolved: Wayland is the culprit is wayland.
All problem with openl and hardware acceleration. I switched to the ‘old’ X.org and everythings is fine.

Thank you for your help.
