User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Build ID: 20151029151421 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open http://vocaroo.com/ in a new tab 2) [optional] Add it to "Bookmarks Toolbar", either visible part or hidden under dropdown menu 3) Switch to other tabs and try to scroll (with smooth scrolling enabled in options, or use middle click scroll) Actual results: When this icon is displayed, page scrolling framerete decreases to 45fps (measured with eyes and layers.acceleration.draw-fps in about:config). When you add this problematic favicon to the Bookmarks Toolbar, it loads after startap, so we get a persistent overall decrease in performance with non-obvious origin. Expected results: Resolve performance issue / [optional] Don't allow websites to have such bloated animated favicons (for reference, Google Chrome displays this favicon as a static image and there is no performance drop)
My friend tested it on Firefox 40, and everything worked like a charm without any framedrops. Then I asked him to update to Firefox 42, and the issue revealed. So, to summarize tested platforms: Windows 10, Firefox 40 x86 - doesn't reproduce Windows 10, Firefox 42 x86 - reproduces Windows 10, Firefox 42 x86_64 - reproduces
I can reproduce on Aurora44.0a2, Beta43b9 and Firefox42. Fortunately, This seems fixed on Nightly44.0a2 with/without e10s.
