Could be a coincidence but my Firefox was completely hogging my CPU this morning. I have Google set as a homepage (which I just leave open on a tab) and when I closed it everything returned to normal. They have a flash animation this morning (anniversary of the buggyball or something?) and I'm vaguely aware of problems caused by this. I'm going to check everything's up to date at my end. I came on here to see if anyone else was having the same problem.

EDIT: Updated my Flash, and a few other things (eg Shockwave). But Google's homepage is still making Firefox hog 99% of the CPU. Easy solution, don't use Google for the time being. Couldn't say if that's related to above but I see that no one else seems to be posting about this at the moment.

If you are using Firefox then there's a pretty good password manager built into the browser. Not quite as good as Robo, sometimes FF does not want to learn a certain website's pw, in which case you make a special shortcut that you click when logging in for 1st time on such sites.
