1340465 - Website load slowly or loading progress 'hangs' while streaming to Chromecast on same network

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1347755

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

I'm experiencing a weird thing with multiple phones running Firefox Beta: Whenever an Android device is streaming YouTube (native app) to a Chromecast device on the same network then Firefox Beta doesn't load websites anymore or only very very slowly. Most of the time the loading indicator is stuck at ~20%.

It doesn't matter if it's the affected device or a different device that is streaming YouTube. I noticed this with a Google Pixel XL and a Nexus 6P. Other Firefox versions seem to have no problem and still load websites.

52 will be RELEASE in a few days so most likely we won't get approved to uplift fix, unless this involves top crashes, or zero day attach.

It looks like I am experiencing this with the release version now. The new beta version doesn't seem to be affected.

From looking at Google Play reviews and Reddit it seems like more users are experiencing slow loads / hangs while loading. Maybe this is a bigger issue in 52 and not strictly limited to users with Chromecasts on the network.
