Possible Bug: High CPU usage
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:28 am
Hello. I currently noticed that some java script coming from http://wurfljs.com/ is causing problems for me from an end-user perspective. I don't know if this has to do with the service itself or the implementation but I still wanted to share it.
For me the effected webiste is: http://www.gamestar.de/ which includes an avdertisment (for the videogame "Wildstar") delivered by doubleclick.net. When the website is opened and the ad loaded one or more CPU cores jump up to 100% usage. Disabling javascripts from one of those websites fixes the problem. Just disabling wurfljs.com does the job too.
The bug is not introduced by other addons, I checked that with safe-mode. I can reproduce it by allowing/disallowing wurfljs.com with 100% certainty.
Hard/software used: Linux Mint 17, Firefox 29, Intel i5 540M, OpenJRE 7
