X-notifier 3.x for Firefox (deprecated)

I have tried to reinstall firefox, plugins, profile, and still CPU goes up and never falls below 20% after mail check. It seems as if the X-notifier scripts gets "stuck" in a loop.

I have noticed that when side bar is disabled CPU goes down to normal again.  With separate (detached) window option you also need to  close after mail check to return to normal again.

I still have the high CPU utilization for x-notifier side bar or window and it only goes down after I close them.  Is this normal now ?
