I am having a few CPU usage issues with firebug on CentOS 5.3. If I disable the add-on, then my CPU usage returns to normal, if I leave the add-on enabled but disable firebug for all websites, I get quite heavy spikes.

More than happy to help debug if you want and find out exactly where it seems to be CPU heavy, is there a debugger for a debugger

Bill: I’m not sure what the exact problem is but Firebug does warn that enabling it for GMail will slow down the page considerably. Since you can enable/disable Firebug for each site independently, I think you can continue using Firebug despite these annoyances.

I get the same problem on Max OS X 10.5.5 with Firefox 3.04 using Google’s gmail or slashdot.org with firebug freshly installed. It goes to 99% CPU and the pages never load–I have to kill the firefox process. They work as expected when I uninstall firebug.

Other simpler websites I use don’t have this problem. Wherever the fault lies, I cannot leave firebug installed.

Firebug works great on Firefox 3. Everything seems to be fixed.

Massive issues for me under ubuntu and windows xp for me. Constant restarts of firefox on both platforms. Gmail under ubuntu/firefox is unbearable as well.

I love firefox though, and I deal with it.
