1Password in Firefox uses a lot of CPU
I am running 1P 8 beta on macOS in Firefox and finding the extension frequently ends up using a lot of CPU. Right now, with a single tab open, Firefox is showing 108% and there are probably 20+ 1Pass...
Thanks @"paul.m_1p" for the response. The process name is 1Password. I worked all day and it was fine but went away for a while and it started giving me the problem. As of right now there are 2 1Password processes and it's showing one is at 48.4% of CPU and the other is 48.8%. Note, I'm not doing anything with 1Password right now. A few anecdotal theories:
- I spent a lot of time on VPN. The VPN will disconnect if I sleep the system for long enough. I wonder if this is contributing to it somehow.
- Sleeping may trigger this bug but like the first theory, more experimentation is needed.
As an experiment, I just loaded a new tab and loaded a website I knew I'd have to sign into. I clicked "Sign in" and sure enough another 1Password processes spawned. After I haven't even logged in fully (only at password window on the website) but I am now up to 6 1Password processes. Each are using approximately 33% of CPU and my fan is running. And something I can reproduce is when I quit Firefox due to it making my fan run a lot, 1Password always shows the "Report Crash" dialog.
