On Firefox, refined-github is a CPU sink

See original GitHub issue

I noticed that on a freshly restarted Firefox, having some page on github.com open used 50-100% of a CPU. Closing the github page fixed this. This got me the idea that refined-github is to blame, and indeed, switching off the extension also fixed the problem.

This is unfortunate, since I enjoyed the extra functionality that refined-github gave me.

Versions:

  • Firefox 87.0 on Mac OS X Mojave
  • refined-github: 21.4.13
