I have had this problem on and off in various versions over
the years. I do:
# ps ax | grep iceweasel
# <response>
# kill xxxx
Faster/easier:
killall -9 iceweasel
And, you should not need to run as root.
You shouldn't need to run as root at all. You just need to run as
the same user who ran Iceweasel in the first place. That's likely
to be you.
Oh, and killing Iceweasel/Firefox is probably overkill. If it
actually is Flash causing the problem, you can just kill the Flash
plugin.
ps aux | grep nspluginviewer
if you are using Adobe's Flash plugin. If you are using the
third-part FOSS "gnash" plugin, I think this will work:
ps aux | grep gnash
Once you have the process ID, just kill it as normal:
kill <id>
(Use kill -HUP and kill -9 if necessary).
It did the 98% cpu thing again last night. As it happened I had
KsysGuard running, and it showed "nsplugin-container" at 98% cpu.
Using the kill in KsysGuard stopped the process. Iceweasel showed
35% cpu at that point. I assume that the total, 133% cpu, is because
I have a dual core processor.
Thanks all, for the useful information.
