I just got my mac book a couple of days ago, upgraded to Lion cause the apple people told me to, and now im stuck with a very hot laptop that doesn't even last mere 3hrs for uni D:. My mac is practically empty, no programs what so ever beside firefox.
Is there any solutions for this issue yet?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), Overheating, low battery life,
Firefox 5.0.1 uses allot of cpu and ram (600mb) , try chrome and also make sure you dont use

Do not use Chrome, nor Firefox: this behaviour is not normal. It has to be solved.
First run the Activity Monitor, "all processes", click the %CPU column and look for a process that uses more than 50%. Kill that process.
Install iStatPro widget (free) which will display temperatures, fanspeed, battery, etc.
Check your Lion version: should be 10.7.1
For the moment do not worry about the battery life, use it for some weeks, several cycles, before you pay attention.
BTW: do not install antivirus apps, or "cleaners", you do not need them.
