Trisquel 5.5 STS Brigantia is the name of my GNU/Linux distribution and its browser is called "Abrowser", which is base on firefox. I'm using version 19.0 which I'm assuming is base on version 19.0 of firefox, but I'm sure we are always behind updates.
I'm sure I'm using the newest version of linterna magica (0.0.13-1), I checked. I uninstalled and installed it back on just to make sure. Also I wouldn't be able to watch youtube videos any more if I were using a previous version, and I don't have any other greasy monkey scripts installed.
I'm sorry I lied when I said "This happens no matter what page I'm visiting." I didn't actually tried it on a lot of pages.
Browsing through deviantart.com gallerias pulls the problem right out immediately. For instance:

Making a search for a word here does something similar, but not as bad:
http://www.wordreference.com
Now that I notice, those pages raise the CPU usage quite high by their own, but linterna magica makes the problem a lot worse.
I'm sure those pages use a lot of JavaScript to work out, so I totally agree that this problem has something to do with linterna magica having to parse through all that code. I believe though, that the problem described in the following post, also increases the problem greatly, since it makes those pages load twice every time:

Any way, maybe the version of firefox I'm using has some performance issues too. In any of the cases, my work around seems like the best option for me now.
