Would you like to try Firefox Nightly 71? Full screen code is being rewritten (bug 1505916).

Comment 4

[Kusanagi Kouichi]

Nightly 71 is slow too.

Comment 5

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

It is likely too late to do anything about this for 70. But we'll see how Fission work helps for 72 and maybe even 71.

Do you see this on a clean profile? Have you toggled gfx.webrender.split-render-roots to true on the profile where you see this?

I tested with a new profile.

Have you toggled gfx.webrender.split-render-roots to true on the profile where you see this?
It's set to false. Setting it to true doesn't change anything.
WebRender seems disabled. Please see the attached about:support.

I'm stumped, tbh. There's nothing in the about:support data that stands out to me (though it may be worth someone more in tune with the finesses of gfx to take a look - nical?), the change in bug 1549976 I don't think should have affected non-webrender, and I can't tell what's going on in the videos - they move a lot from left-to-right? I don't really understand why - does the same issue not happen if you're going from a maximized window to fullscreen?

One more stab in the dark: on the clean profile, if you toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in about:config, close Firefox, and create a chrome folder in your profile with a userChrome.css file containing:

html|*#fullscreen-and-pointerlock-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

and reopen Firefox, does the problem go away? (You probably don't want to keep that long-term because it'll break pointerlock and fullscreen warnings.)

It's also possible gecko profiles for the before/after would help, but tbh from the video it's not clear to me that there's really a significant difference in how quickly anything happens? It looks maybe more stuttery in 69 (though even that's hard to see because of the horizontal back-and-forth), but not slower in a wall-clock-time sense, and it may be hard to make out the difference in a profile.

(In reply to :Gijs (he/him) from comment #9)
userChrome.css doesn't help.
Removing #fullscreen-and-pointerlock-wrapper from browser.xhtml makes fullscreen by F11 fast. But fullscreen by video element is still slow.
I'll attach new videos. They'll show the problem clearer.

Can you use the Firefox Profiler add-on to get profiles of the good/bad behaviour in the 3000 tabs case?

From the profiles, looks like stylo is where things are happening, which I don't know much about. Looks like a lock in Servo_CssUrlData_Release is contended, but I don't know with what (the stylo workers are not recorded in the profile).

Moving from WebRender to the Graphics component since the former does not affect the issue, but I doubt the answer will actually be Graphics.

Perhaps the change in the regression range or some other change that happened around the same time nudged some heuristics somewhere which led more items to be considered by the style system when thousands of (hidden) tabs are present?

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

P3, unassigned, so wontfix for 71 given where we are in the schedule.

Comment 17

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

The most suspicious thing I see in this profile is that we spend almost 700ms in Servo_CssUrlData_Release waiting on a lock during the two reflows. That said, the rest of the stacks don't make much sense, so it's not clear what's actually triggering the reflows, or even whether the parts of the stacks that seem to make sense are actually trustworthy. I'm not sure whether this is because of improper symbolication or just because of the way the code is optimized.

Marking fix-optional to remove this from weekly regression triage.
