1505322 - Firefox shows more content processes in about:support than configured

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Ralf Jung]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

Start my browser and have a few (>30, <100) tabs open. Go to about:support.


Actual results:

It says

Web Content Processes: 	5/4

And indeed, looking at htop, I can see that Firefox spawned 5 processes even though processCount is set to 4 (seems to be the default).


Expected results:

It should only spawn 4 processes.

Comment 1

[[:philipp]]

hi, i think that's the intended result - next to web content from tabs there are also a number of other tasks (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis#Overview) that might be outsourced into a separate process and which don't count towards the preference for content processes that is surfaced in the UI.

Comment 2

[Ralf Jung]

That might be what is happening. Showing "5 of 4" processes in about:support however is at least rather confusing.

Comment 3

[[:philipp]]

yes i concur that it would be helpful, if there'd be a proper breakdown of open processes in about:support :))

Comment 4

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

There's a number of cases that can put the number of processes above what was specified. The number specified is for "normal" web content, but things like a file:// tab open might cause a dedicated process created for it.

We should probably figure out a way to filter those

Comment 5

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

We should probably report the breakdown by process type, but we definitely should keep reporting non-"web" processes. It's easy enough. Just iterate over children of ppmm and check `getChildAt(i).remoteType`

Comment 6

[Nika Layzell [:nika] (ni? for response)]

This is blocking bug 1513045, I'm guessing because having the privileged process will exacerbate this on production.

If it's something which we actually want to have before enabling privileged content processes, can we bump priority up from P5, as we'll want it within Fission-M2

Comment 7

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

I'll take this bug. I probably wouldn't call it a hard blocker, however it's something that bothers a lot of people (including me), so let's get it fixed
