Random hangs on huge amount of tabs #266

Closed ray65536 closed 5 years ago

ray65536 commented 5 years ago

I have about a 200+ tabs, and if I enable Conex - firefox become inusable - random hangs on scrolling pages/pressing links or buttons on pages. It hangs for 1-3 seconds, and this behavior disappears after disabling conex (no restart needed), and reappears instantly after enable conex again. If I move mouse over links - cursor changes its form from arrow to hand in 1-2 seconds. If I press link or button - nothing happens, but after 1-3 second I see, that link changes its color (like its pressed), and buttons redraws to "pressed" state. Durings this hangs - it's possible to move mouse. The same behavior with scrolling - it's hangs for 1-3 seconds, and scrolls fast after that.

It's absolutely impossible to use browser with this bug. I happy to found, that it was not a problem of Firefox itself, but Conex is very comfortable, and it's very advised to fix this...

same here

Same here, this is definitely a problem. I do not have 200 tabs, but I have around 100 I think and it's noticeable and it's freaking annoying :( Problem also stops when I disable Conex. Firefox 63.0.3 64bit, Linux. Pleeeease fix this. :)

Sorry: was very unactive with conex lately. Do you have thumbnails and / or favicons enabled? Can you try to turn these options off and see if this makes a difference?

ray65536 commented 5 years ago

Disabling thumbnails&icons - was the first, that I tried. In the time of writing of this issue - where was no difference, but now disabling thumbs helps! But in this period update to firefox itself arrived (v64), may be it's related...

So: it helps as in this bug can be closed? Performance issues are always quite hard to test or fix. Thumbnails and favicons definitely add to the load.

ximex commented 5 years ago

please keep the issue open for some more days to test

trancephorm commented 5 years ago

It helps with performance (everything fast again now), but I've noticed when I open a link from email client for example, it opens only in default tab, not in the current active tab :(

I now have issue #163 re-opened which is about general performance improvements. I will close thise issue as it is about the same problem
