961372 - Windows 8 Mode slightly choppy

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 909752

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: Browser, defect)

Description

[gedagenand]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.76 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Opening several tabs with different sites each time.

In the about:config I have addons and plugins enabled, so I also use the latest flash plugin, ghostery addon and adblock edge addon.


Actual results:

When more than one tab opened with different sites - the navigation and display become a bit choppy, like Aurora has some hard time coping with everything and must skip some frames. Same when playing flash videos in youtube.

sites - google, youtube, deviantart, weather.com etc'... etc'...

It is 'workable', but it won't last long if won't be smooth. Other browsers work just fine on the same machine (IE & Chrome).


Expected results:

Aurora should be able to cope with a standard load of pages.

Retried without addons and plugins, once disabled and once completely disabled from about:config (back to original settings).

No change, sites load just fine, but the metro menu (such as the animation of opening new tabs) isn't smooth, like it "skips frames".

Don't know of this helps, but these are the general specs for my machine: http://www.asus.com/in-search-of-incredible/us-en/asus-transformer-book-t100/ .

Yes, this is definitely a problem with the current version of the Windows 8 app.  It'll probably take quite a bit of work to fix this; we'll be tracking that work in bug 909752 and related bugs.
