GeckoMain is a mozilla process, and it might be a good idea to restart it, as it's been running for nearly 54 hours.

after weeks of roasting my CPU and exhausting by battery reserves, the issue was cause by the setting of Mozilla , if you seem to be using it by keeping hardware acceleration off or you any custom settings , i just changed mine to recommended settings and everything came back to normal!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
