Q: FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content CPU overdrive

Dave BensonJust recently, MathOverflow has started to cause Firefox to use massive CPU resources, at least on my machine. In particular, I'm on a Macbook Pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 running Ventura 13.4.1 and Firefox 116.0.2. Some MathOverflow posts cause "FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content" to consume 100...

I wonder whether you might have bigger chance of getting some useful response on Super User or Ask Different rather then here. Two questions which seem relatively natural: Does this happen on other Stack Exchange sites, too? Does this happen only on pages with MathJax? — Martin Sleziak Aug 15 at 3:23
Would something like that be a reasonable question for Super User? (It was asked on MathOverflow Meta.)

As a "user" problem, maybe. But there's a certain value in asking it on meta if its a 'wider' problem which staff need to fix

Maybe I should ask in the Ask Different chatroom too - and then leave at least a comment under the post on meta what was the response from the users of these two sites.

@MartinSleziak I'm seeing the same behavior on FF on Windows. The FF process permanently spikes to around 30% (i.e. 1 core on a 4-core system) when I open the example page listed in the comments.

I suppose it's useful to know that this isn't specific to Mac.
