1294653 - Aurora 50 UI slowdown

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1295214

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Eugene Savitsky]

After some time of usage Aurora 50 UI becomes slow. Keyboard (writing and elements changing) and mouse input (elements changing) is happening with about 1 sec delay.

Then, after some tabs are close it becomes not so noticeable. After some time it will again show up.

Hi Eugene, 

Thanks for reporting the bug. I have some questions to ask.

Can you visit about:support can paste your details?
Do you get the same behavior on Aurora when running safe mode?

Comment 3

[Eugene Savitsky]

1. It is happening only on 1 from 3 my computers. (Intel i5 + AMD 7850 video)

2. It feels like it starts after opening some tabs. They do not have video, just tabs with some HTML.

3. I did not tried in safe mode yet.

Comment 4

[Eugene Savitsky]

It seems in safe mode it is OK. I will try to disable all addons.

Comment 5

[Eugene Savitsky]

Update. I do see slowdown in safe mode as well...

Comment 6

[Eugene Savitsky]

Aurora was slow.
I left the computer for XX min.
Returned.
It was fast.
But after 30-60 sec of usage it began to slow down.

Comment 7

[(inactive) Jim Chen [:jchen] [:darchons]]

Is this similar to bug 1295214?

Comment 8

[Eugene Savitsky]

Seems similar, but in my case it comes for long period of times. 
I also noticed that closing tabs can make it OK again.

Now I'm back to Aurora 49, otherwise I cannot work...

Comment 9

[timbugzilla]

I am seeing this on a system with an AMD GPU (Intel i5-4670, AMD HD7790 + latest drivers, Win 10 x64 Anniversary Edition, x64 nightly and developer builds, refreshed profile, zero to three addons, no plugins).

Closing all non-blank tabs alleviates it, youtube and big imgur pages possibly trigger it.

Comment 12

[Eugene Savitsky]

Maybe we should together find the first affected build on 50.0 Nightly branch.

Comment 13

[timbugzilla]

Here are some probably/possibly related bugs, some of which include attempts to find the regression:

Comment 14

[Kacper Michajłow [:kasper93]]

Here is also mine ticket. Bug 1294953 which seem to be the same this. One thing I'm sure that it is v50 regression. But I haven't tried bisecting nightly version yet. It is so annoying to wait every time until this bug triggers to see if given build is affected. I might try next weekend when I have more time if no one beat me to it.

Comment 15

[(inactive) Jim Chen [:jchen] [:darchons]]

Try the 7-28 Nightly. It's the last Nightly not affected by bug 1295214 and maybe this bug as well.

Comment 16

[Kacper Michajłow [:kasper93]]

Thanks, I replied in my report. Seems to be indeed vsync issue. See my reply in Bug 1294953

Comment 17

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] 🇵🇱 - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

This bug is probably a duplicate of bug # 1295214.
Please retest to see if it's fixed in latest Nightly (51.0a1 [2016-08-27]),
if not, reopen this bug.
