1171391 - [e10s] Some sites slower to resolve with AdBlock Plus and NoScript enabled

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Paul [pwd]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150513191204

Steps to reproduce:

Confirmed as per the e10s thread on MozillaZine:
According to the web tools, it takes about 556ms to parse the index html. With e10s off, its taking 385ms. This may be worth filing a bug for.

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Paul,  are you running this with any addons installed?  If so, please try disabling them all or trying in a clean profile.

Comment 2

[Paul [pwd]]

These actually weren't my numbers. My numbers are much slower, we suspect the delay are exacerbated on Linux.

Comment 3

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

So on my local Ubuntu VM, Nightly Linux does appear to retrieve the HTML document at the URL slightly faster without e10s than with e10s, but only around 10ms-20ms... not the hundreds of milliseconds that others are reporting.

Hey pwd - are you willing to gather a performance profile for me while loading this page in non-e10s and e10s mode? I show you how to get the profiler add-on and submit profiles here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGBs0BQsoQg&feature=youtu.be

Hrm. I'm afraid there are no symbols in this profile. :( I have a feeling our symbol server was misbehaving when you gathered this.

Would you mind going into about:config, and setting profiler.symbolicationUrl to http://symbolapi.mocotoolsprod.net/ and trying again?

I cannot get the profile out because it keeps crashing my Firefox with OOM problems.

Hrm. Ok, if you go into the settings of the profiler (Add-on button > Settings > Advanced), can you reduce the number of samples? Maybe by like... 30%?

For some reason, it wouldn't upload, so here's one.

Here's another one.

Comment 10

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Great, ok, I can see that one - I've uploaded it here:

http://people.mozilla.org/~bgirard/cleopatra/#report=c0f501990d47dc4d9b3c0fe1983e5ba84ce6fefa&selection=0,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,6,9,10,5,6,6,6,6,6,12,1132

The problem with it is that it only shows the main process. I also need samples from the content process - so I'm going to ask you to do this again, but can you do it with a recent Nightly build, and using the latest version of the Gecko Profiler Add-on (1.16.2 or higher)?

Comment 11

[Paul [pwd]]

It is Profiler 1.16.2. Also I'd love to but the Ubuntu nightly repo hasn't been updated since 0513, if you know of anyone who can get them kicked off again, I'll be happy to provide you any data you require.

I've filed a bug about the Ubuntu nightly builds being outdated here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-ppa-bugs/+bug/1466230

I've not cleared the needinfo as hopefully a new build will pop out in the next few days and I can get a more meaningful profile for you.

Comment 12

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Alternatively, you could download one of the Mozilla builds for Linux at https://nightly.mozilla.org/

I have a slight OCD in regards to directory structure. Believe me, with the inconsistency of the Ubuntu Nightly releases, I'd love to ditch them for something whereby I'd get my nightly releases directly from Mozilla.

Comment 14

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Fair enough. :)

Comment 15

[Paul [pwd]]

New profile from the nightly of 20150718 which is apparently too big to attach: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0nqxrf5h0mtavmd/knDuqug%2B.bin?dl=0

Comment 16

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Ah, okay, I see what's happening - we're spending a lot of time inside the ContentPolicy add-on shim.

Can you please list me your enabled add-ons from about:support?

Comment 18

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Okay Paul, I have a test for you to try:

Can you please disable NoScript and Adblock Plus, and then do a comparison between non-e10s and e10s? 

Does the time to download the page seem to match up with those disabled?

Comment 19

[Paul [pwd]]

The time with those add-ons is disabled (separate profile) is definitely better.

Comment 20

[Wladimir Palant]

As far as Adblock Plus is concerned, this is a duplicate of bug 1161798.

Comment 21

[Wladimir Palant]

Note that bug 1161798 is fixed as of Adblock Plus 2.7 - the content policy implementation is no longer relying on shims.

Comment 22

[Abe - QA (:Abe_LV)]

Cleaning up untriaged items. If it is not a proper component, please assist. Thanks

Comment 23

[:shell escalante]

closing based on comment 21.  we have bug 1192585 looking at any perf differences post 2.7.x
