1261783 - Main browser window goes grey when browsing in almost every session on iPad

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Karen Rudnitski [:kar]]

iPad mini 3. With every browsing session, the main browser window will just turn grey mid-browsing. Doesn't matter which website. Happens daily in almost every session.

There aren't a load of apps on the iPad, but a handful. Nothing else is happening at the same time (no streaming, for instance) - just straight browsing.

Happens on the latest released version of Firefox.

Karen, do you happen to have multiple tabs open in background when the main window is turning grey?

Comment 2

There may be 2 - 4 other tabs in the session.

We've done some memory improvement work so this issue might be a lot less severe. Do you mind retesting this to see if it's still an issue?

Tested on latest Nightly (6.0) on iPad Air 2.

The issue was reproduced during a browsing session with multiple tabs opened in background and after a session restore. I could not find reliable steps to reproduce this issue as it is highly intermittent and it occurred only once.

Will file new bug to track larger work to investigate what to do for many, many tabs.
