Comment:

 Replying to [comment:11 cypherpunks]:
 > "But it still happily fucks the system when the page is visible. (Not
 100% CPU, more load on 32-bit version.)" similar results on virtual
 machine by using Firefox ESR 60.

 Thanks. This seems to be an inherent Firefox problem. I suspect the
 resources it needs are sufficiently high that the machine you have gets
 strained in "standard" mode. And that not everything is working in "safer"
 mode is kind of a calculated side-effect. Thus, all in all I think that's
 not a bug we'll be fixing.
