[Bug 808258] [NEW] plugin-container consumes a lot of CPU

[Jose Ramon Huerga]

Public bug reported:

Having Firefox open with a dozen tabs is painful for the CPU, specially
when some of the tabs contain Facebook, Yammer, etc. Using 'top' you can
easily see that most of the CPU is wasted by firefox-bin and also by
plugin-container. On a laptop this implies that the batteries run out of
energy earlier.
