After a recent Firefox update, probably the update to 37.0, within a few minutes of starting Firefox, my MacBook Pro running Yosemite starts to heat up and the fan screams for mercy. Looking in Activity Monitory, I see that Firefox is using a lot of CPU. Quitting Firefox solves the problem and the fan stops after about one minute.
Day-Use Reservations
Reservations are available on recreation.gov, with most reservations available in spring, and limited reservations available seven days before the arrival date (e.g., make a reservation for an arrival date of September 30 on September 23):
First day to reserve | Arrival date |

April 28 | July 1–31 |
May 5 | August 1–31 |
May 12 | September 1–30 |

Reservations are available each day at 8 am Pacific time. Reservations are taken almost immediately. Be sure to have an account and be logged in and ready to get a reservation promptly at 8 am Pacific time.
The non-refundable reservation fee is $2 and is included in the $35/car park entrance fee. If you have an annual or lifetime pass, be sure to specify you're a current pass holder to pay the discounted rate ($2).
Cancelled reservations become available immediately on recreation.gov.
Each user can make one reservation per day. Only one reservation is needed per vehicle (regardless of the number of people in the vehicle). An occupant of the arriving vehicle must be the reservation holder (with photo ID).
Day-use permits are valid for three consecutive days for unlimited entries. Day-use permits are not valid for overnight use (the park is only open to day-use permitholders from 5 am to 11 pm).
In-Park Camping, Lodging, or Vacation Rentals
If you have a reservation for one of the following, you do not need an additional reservation. You still pay the $35/car entrance fee upon arrival (credit card only) unless you have an annual or lifetime pass. The overnight vehicle permit you receive will be valid for the duration of your reservation or three consecutive days (whichever is longer) for unlimited entries.
Upper Pines, Lower Pines, or North Pines Campgrounds, Camp 4, Wawona Campground, Bridalveil Creek Campground, or Tuolumne Meadows Campground
- Curry Village, Housekeeping Camp, Yosemite Valley Lodge, The Ahwahnee, or the Wawona Hotel
- Private lodging or vacation rental reservation in Wawona, Yosemite West, or Foresta
Reservations for lodging or vacation rentals outside the park and in communities other than these three do not provide access to Yosemite.
Wilderness or Half Dome Permits
If you have a wilderness permit reservation (for backpacking) or Half Dome permit, you do not need an additional reservation or permit. You still pay the $35/car entrance fee upon arrival (credit card only) unless you have an annual or lifetime pass. The overnight vehicle permit you receive will be valid for the duration of your permit or three consecutive days (whichever is longer) for unlimited entries.
If you have a wilderness permit, you may enter the park a day before the date on your wilderness permit to stay at a backpackers campground.
A Half Dome permit only provides day-use access to Yosemite (5 am to 11 pm). Overnight accommodations are not available unless you have reserved them separately. A Half Dome permit does not allow you to camp in Yosemite.
Regional Transit or Tour Groups
If you have a reservation for Yosemite Area Regional Transporation System (YARTS) or with an authorized tour group, you do not need an additional reservation or permit.

Firefox crashes when I load any page. This started happening when I migrated to a new Mac running OS X Yosemite. However, it does not happen on another Mac running Yosemite.
Firefox For Mac Yosemite
I've updated to 33.0.3. It happens in Safe Mode. I've reset Firefox and even deleted my profile and started fresh. I've removed questionable plugins and fonts. No change. It even crashes when trying to process a crash report.
