[Bug 185469] Re: high cpu load because of JavaScript

Why is this bug filed against linux? Firefox uses the whole CPU.

I think the JavaScript is very bad written or firefox has a bug or (what
I assume most) there is a problem with the rendering. If the
'newsticker' moves, the whole thing must be new rendered. And if the
graphics card can't do this, because the driver doesn't support this,
then the CPU makes this and uses much CPU for this. The following
comment supports this theory:

Really interesting! This shows, that this bug seems to be a bug in the
graphics card's driver.

Maybe similar to bug 187383? (both try to render with cairo?)
