Maybe not the best place to put this, since it's quite possibly a
Firefox issue (most likely, even), buuuut, I figured I'd see if I could
get some more information on csrss.exe, to try and solve my problem.
Basically, here's the thread about it on the mozillaZine forums:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=245130
Quick summary: When browsing using any version of Firefox, certain
webpages will cause FF to freeze, and csrss.exe to start taking up all
available CPU cycles.
This is repeatable, over and over. If it happens on a page once, it
will happen every time I go to that page. Sometimes, it even happens
with certain Google search criteria, but if I change the search query
ever-so-slightly, it works fine. A couple of problem pages are listed
on that forum, but one that seems to be domain-wide is wikipedia. I
can't access anything on wikipedia (possibly any site using their
software).
Any ideas on what could be causing this, from a csrss point of view
(no, it's not a virus or spyware. It's the csrss.exe that comes with
windows. That avenue has been pursued over and over and over. Please
trust me on this.)
I guess what I'm looking for is this: What components of windows (or
Firefox, I guess) does csrss work with, that could be causing problems?
How would I go about finding out?
Also, if anyone is interested in digging around, there's a ton of
discussion on that thread. Just nothing that fixes the problem.
Thanks!
