Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect, P3)

Description

[Asif Youssuff]

Attachment: memory-report.json.gz

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20171114100042

Steps to reproduce:

Enabled WebRender: 

– set “gfx.webrender.enabled” to true,
– set “gfx.webrender.blob-images” to true

Use Firefox as normal.


Actual results:

macOS told me that my system had run out of memory. Saved a memory report. macOS reported that Firefox was using 32gb of RAM. 


Expected results:

Firefox should use less memory.

(In case you scrolled down a Google presentation: bug 1414890.
After today's "I have to like positive Quantum tweets" marathon, my GPU process now takes 5.6 GB RAM + 5.7 GB shared memory.)

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

Do you still run into memory issues? We've fixed a number of issues since this bug was filed.

Comment 3

[Asif Youssuff]

It has been a long time, and I have not run into this issue in a while.

Great!
