Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:131.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/131.0

Steps to reproduce:

Simply opened two links from letterboxd

Actual results:

https://share.firefox.dev/3ZWmNSV, lagging, very slow, browser buffers for a while. It's been happening a lot randomly.

Expected results:

Should have been smooth like it always has been without any lagging.

Moving to Core::Performance for additional triage. First pass with the impact triage calculator included below. I notice mention of an extension called Simplify Copilot in the profile. @rywbook06 Can you try to reproduce this in Troubleshoot Mode or with extensions disabled?

The Performance Impact Calculator has determined this bug's performance impact to be low. If you'd like to request re-triage, you can reset the Performance Impact flag to "?" or needinfo the triage sheriff.

Platforms: Windows
Impact on site: Causes noticeable jank

@mstange there's a lot of jank in the profile, do you have any thoughts on where we should move this bug?

The parent process is spending time inside GC / CC and gathering telemetry about memory usage. It looks like there is a lot of memory being used by the parent process. The memory stats part also spending a lot of time iterating over cached SVG images.

How many windows and tabs were open in this Firefox session, roughly?

Flags: needinfo?(mstange.moz)

@davehunt, i disabled simplify, so far so good but the lagging generally comes and goes, don't know if it's the root reason. I can comment again if I still get lag even with Simplify disabled.

@mstange, not sure but probably around 20-30. I would be surprised that that would be enough to create so much lag.
