1281039 - CanvasMark Asteriods Test3 visually stutters on Android

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Clemens Eisserer]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160606200529
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

The "Asteriods Test3 - Asteroids, Shapes Shadows, Blending" benchmark of the CanvasMark benchmark suite stutters a lot when running it with Firefox on Android - while rendering is very fluent with Chrome, the Android 4.4.4 stock browser and with the Blackberry-10 stack browser.

I've created a stand-alone version of the mentioned test, available at: http://93.83.133.214/CanvasMarkFirefox/

Tested on:
LG G4 Dual, Snapdragon 808, Android Marshmallow
Alcatel One Touch Pop 2 4,5, Snapdragon 410, Android 4.4.4
Blackberry Q10 (with rendering artifacts)

Using Firefox 50 and a Nexus 5x I don't see stuttering. Chrome 53 just crashes on the website before the test finishes.

Firefox-48b4 vs Chrome-51 on Nexus 5x: https://youtu.be/fMAvjyOlJww

Not only is the animation with Chrome smoother, the benchmark renders 2-3x more particles than with FF (as it tries to achieve a fixed frame-rate by reduding content).

Hi,

I was not able to reproduce the issue.

Tested with:
Browser / Version: Firefox Mobile Nightly 63.0a1 (2018-08-27)
Operating System: Nexus 9 (Android 6.0.1)

Could you download the latest Nightly and retry?

Thank you!
