Title:
  Both Firefox and Chrome consuming 70% CPU without a reason at the same
  time

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Suddenly my laptop's cooler fan began spinning very fast while the
  system was completely idle, I wan't even using it though I had a few
  programs opened.

  So I ran top, and I saw the Chrome and Firefox processes were
  alternatively consuming 70% CPU each all the time. There were only
  static idle pages open, no youtube video, nothing of that kind, no
  script running. I closed Firefox and Chrome kept consuming 70% cpu,
  then I closed Chrome and it obviously stopped.

  It would be a very strange coincidence that it was a  bug in both
  browsers manifesting itself at the very same time, so that's why I'm
  reporting this against xorg: it's almost surely something at the
  system level, and I strongly suspect something graphical (perhaps
  nvidia-related? as the broken nvidia driver's bugs are usually
  rensponsible of most of Ubuntu's tremendous instability).
