Waterfox (latest) 10 tabs open-only 1 active (YouTube)
Occasionally the YT tab will hit 300+ cpu. Cannot force it and doesn't
happen reliably. All other tabs work except anything involving network.
No solution, but some thoughts:
I heard that YouTube uses a "different vision" of a set of standards,
some of which are earlier and poorly-supported by Firefox; I think
YouTube's choice is intentional.
I don't use it myself, but I thought that tabs were single-threaded.
When I kill the process everything is normal and Waterfox offers to
re-open the tab.
Does Firefox have shift-escape to list its processes like Chromium does?
It sounds like that's what you're using to kill the tab. If Firefox
does have such a feature, I wonder if there is any breakdown in other
processes as to what's going on.
This has to be a weird bug, given the popularity (however small; still
significant!) of both the browser and its use for YouTube. I wonder if
that distro builds with weird flags or options for Waterfox that's
different than typical.
