Slowness when installed #161

Closed yoasif closed 5 years ago

yoasif commented 5 years ago

I have been using this add-on for a while but recently started feeling like my browser has slowed down a lot.

I went ahead and took a profile of browser activity as I opened a couple of reddit tabs and closed some other browser tabs.

I saw a lot of delays in the WebExtensions process, in particular this add-on.

I am hoping that there is something useful here that can help you remove some of the delay I am seeing here.

Attached about:support here that can hopefully give you some information.

Thanks for the report. There was indeed a bug in the code related to CheckDeadFrames -> CheckDomainLeaveSet. It will be fixed in the next version.

Did you notice any other place related to FMN? I could only find this one item in your link. Maybe I'm missing something, since I haven't used that tool before.

I'll retry it after the new version comes out and I'll be happy to reprofile if I see slowness. I just noticed that my browser has been lagging for a while now and I finally got frustrated enough to try to figure out what was going on.

The new version has been released. Please re-open if not solved. Thanks again for the report!
