All of a sudden with the past week or so I've been having problems writing emails because as I type my words get cutoff and I have to wait for a second or two to start entering letters again. It happens all of a sudden and even occurred when I was entering data to join the forum just now. I looked at the tasks that were running to see if anything there was impacting the performance of the system and found tasks labeled "FirefoxCP Insulated Web Content" running and eating up CPU cycles, up to 48% while in priority position. Sometimes I had up to 6 of these tasks going at one time. What is going on and how can I correct this situation because it's impacting my ability to use any functions that require data entry.

My mistake, it should be FirefoxCP Isolated Web Content. Can anyone tell me what that function is doing?
