Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/111.0

Steps to reproduce:

Window open with 15 tabs (about 5 Youtube).

Actual results:

Firefox has a constant high usage of GPU (29-35%), also if the window is not activated, also when minimized.
Closed the window and restartet it from chronicle, no change of problem.
Problem is indep. of activated tab. Closed several tabs for narrowing the prob, gave up after a while. -> It would be very helpfull if the usage of gpu would be easier to analyze ...

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Tabbed Browser

Update: now I closed all tabs in the suspected window, only an empty tab left. No change. So it was the wrong window; after closing the tab with URL 'thunderbird.net/de/thunderbird/102.0/eoy' in another firefox-window the GPU fell to almost 0. After reopening this tab reclimbed, but value somehow unstable. Again, quite difficult as no allocation to tab in taskmanager ..

If I'm not mistaken, this is duplicate of Bug 1828587.
Please feel free to reopen the bug if your issue still persists and provide all the necessary details for further investigation.

I don't think it is clear that it is a duplicate here.

The first step here would be to update to the latest version of Firefox. It looks like you are on 111, which is old.

about:processes will let you see the PID for each tab, which you can cross reference with the information in the task manager.

Are you interested in solving your performance issue or are you only interested in providing a suggestion about showing more page information in the task manager? I think we don't show the URL in the task manager because you have to be careful depending on the OS in the case of multiple users on the machine to not expose what sites you have open to others.

"only" solving the performance issue; it think it should be as easy as possible for the average user to solve such issues; it's about energy costs, durability and enviroment, thanks for your suggestion! maybe it's feasible to close the corresponding PID directly from the firefox taskmanager (and maybe only the ones of the current user)??

Gerald, could you provide a performance profile of this? https://profiler.firefox.com/ and once profiled, use "upload local profile" and share the link here.

I'm using 102.11.0esr now and I could not reproduce the problem, sorry.

Thank you for letting us know.
