Bug Description
When using HUD to access Firefox menus, it will use a high amount of CPU (around 70%), even after Firefox is closed. It looks like its trying to index Firefox menus (speacially the bookmarks menu, that has a lot of entries).
Steps to reproduce:
- You need a Firefox install with hundreds of bookmarks.
- Start Firefox
- Start the Hud and try to search a item that it's on your bookmarks menu.
- See the high CPU usage of unity-pane-service and hud-service.

I don't have thousands of bookmarks, well, probably in the hundreds, so I don't have this problem. I don't see a reason why it should happen. Can anyone other than the original reporter confirm this issue?
