1420264 - Opening a SVG file freezes FF57

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: SVG, defect, P5)

Description

[Frank]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171113102334

Steps to reproduce:

I opened [1], right-clicked on the image and chose “View image” (or maybe it’s called “Show image”).


[1] https://github.com/gnome-design-team/london-ux2017-experiments/blob/master/lock-login/tobias-lock-login.svg


Actual results:

Then FF blocked my full machine (Fedora 27) for about two minutes, then I was able to close that tab, and everything worked fine again. Tried this two times and it was reproducible.


Expected results:

The vector graphic should’ve shown up normally, without blocking the system, of course.

Works fine for me on Firefox 57 on a Mac.

My comment got lost somehow...

Firefox57 and FF trunk on Windows doesn't freeze and doesn't use much CPU but scrolling the image is very slow and the Firefox URL bar is broken.

This is a 12.3 MB SVG file with PNG images embedded as data: URLs. We do not recommend deploying such files on the Web. It creates a poor user experience for users with slower machines and/or less memory.

I assumed librsvg to be blazing fast and robust… ;P

Games render the hell out of gigabytes – why are there problems with way smaller files in browsers, actually?

Seems OK now. Renders the same as Chrome as far as I can tell.
