Details

Consider the following code: > <html><script> > function print() { > for(var i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) console.error('I print, therefore I am! ' + i); > requestAnimationFrame(print); > } > requestAnimationFrame(print); > </script></html> This page prints so much that the browser becomes unresponsive. The slow script dialog/banner does not come up on this, and it is not possible to navigate away from the page or close the browser from X in the corner. User has to kill the browser from task manager to resume.
We have a number of blockers on Bug 1308216 to improve this situation in the new frontend. Will keep this open until it's better.
Blocks: console-perf
Depends on: 1308216
Priority: -- → P2
Product: Firefox → DevTools
No longer depends on: 1308216
Severity: normal → S3

This seems to be okay now, probably thanks to Bug 1753177
