Status: RESOLVED INVALID

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

Played agar.io with latest flash (27.0.0.187). First, the game works. Get over a score of 150, eat a green virus - you spread into multiple parts - Firefox heavily lags or freezes.
But: Flash is in "ask for activation" mode, game doesn't even need flash!
Uninstalled flash, all works fine.

Tested to disable all add-ons, but has no effect. Flash uninstallation seems to solve the problem.

Computer configuration should not be the problem, ASUS ROG Strix Gaming Z270-F, Core i7-7700K, Samsung 840 Pro, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, actual drivers.


Actual results:

Freeze / Lag


Expected results:

No freeze / lag

Addition: Firefox 56 had no problem.

Today also had huge lags, but without flash.
It's not a connectivity issue, because tab hangs and high CPU usage. It can't be the game, it uses very low resources.

32GB RAM available,

Please delete the bug. I played some time in Chrome, same behavior. Memory and CPU usage gets up and up the longer you play, thene more and more lags come - it must be a problem of the game.
