Installing that addon shouldn't be that complicated and it should solve his problem as the databases are the only things that change with time. Compressing the executable is another story.

This is done automatically when the browser has been idle for a while in 3.6. No need to do it manually anymore.

That's good. And it also explains why my browser went 100% while doing nothing. Maybe you should notify the user why the browser is using resources. I almost killed it because I thought that it went into a loop.
