Firefox, 100% CPU load on all cores, for ~20 seconds, every minute, removing ~/.fonts
Last modified: 2019-02-19 00:56:36 UTC
When running Firefox on the newest Tumbleweed from time to time (~1 minute time spans) the firefox threads go to 100% CPU load and you can not open new tabs in firefox, for some time. The time of blocking is dependent on the number of fonts you have installed and you can see with strace that firefox goes in a loop opening all installed fonts. A workaround for me was to remove .fonts. The solution I found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1076412/firefox-freezing-with-100-cpu-usage-for-30-seconds-when-launching-chromium

A fix seems to be on the way: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/673056.
Please reopen if fontconfig package from M17N (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/M17N/fontconfig) does not help. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1124816 ***
