I have a macbook pro 2011 and the fan seems to run quite often (every single day) though not constantly. Sometimes my safari quits on me very randomly. When I go to my activity monitor nothing takes up a CPU % greater than 16% and that is "Safari web content". I am not sure what this means or what I should do about it.
Thanks for any feedback or help!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
Turn on those one by one and test.
In addition to dominic23's advice, open the MBP and see if there is dust and debris inside. If so, clean it out.
Ciao.
