1845574 - Gmail irrevocably loses communication after 5-12 hours online from version 98 of Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Service Workers, defect, P3)

Description

[Kershaw Chang [:kershaw]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1760580 +++

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

I entered to Gmail and I leave the computer on to keep track of new emails for long time (from several days to several weeks).
(FYI: OS: Windows Server 2008 SP1, Firefox with over a thousand tabs.)

Actual results:

After 5-12 hours with a probability of 70-80% Gmail issues a message that it cannot connect to the server, although the Internet works fine. Gmail works again only if I restart the browser. The bug appeared after the update on Firefox 98.
(FYI: I ran into this mistake 5-6 times during the week. As a result, I had to restore the disk from the backup with Firefox 97.0.2 in which there is no this bug.)

Expected results:

Gmail before FF 98 did not losing connection if everything was ok with the Internet.
Previously, Gmail automatically restored the connection if the Internet was restored after problems.

According to the http log in Bug #1760580 #c32, this seems to be related to service worker.

This is what I saw from the log:

1. A request 27e90900 to https://mail.google.com/sync/u/0/i/s?hl=ru&c=502&rt=r&pt=ji was created.

2. The request was redirected to an intercepted http channel 26dafc00.

3. The intercepted http channel 26dafc00 seems to be cancelled by a content script.

I have not seen this bug for the last 3-5 months for sure. Perhaps the cause of the bug was eliminated. Therefore, I think the bug can be closed.

Hi :kershaw, do you see this still? 98 is a pretty old version, btw.

I now realized you filed the originating bug, thanks for reporting back.
