Lag and crash in dev mode with Firefox (+ demonstration video)

[rxdiscovery]

What happened?

Hello,

for some time now, when I launch a web application made with quasar (quasar dev) with Firefox as the browser, the application starts to lag after 1 min of use, and crashes after about 1 hour.

this only happens in Dev mode, when I build in production mode the problem disappears. (or perhaps it's taking a while to appear in production mode)

I even tested it with an empty project, and it's the same problem.

What did you expect to happen?

Normally, the application should run without lag and should not crash over time.

(dev mode is mandatory with a connection to the IDE, so this link is just for the Bot to accept the post)

How to reproduce?

1. create a new quasar project ( yarn create quasar )

2. select the following options:

   • App with Quasar CLI, let's go!
   • Quasar v2 (Vue 3 | latest and greatest)
   • Typescript
   • Quasar App CLI with Vite 2 (stable | v1)
   • Composition API with

     
     5. run de projet in dev mode ( quasar dev )
     6. open Firefox browser ( http://localhost:9000/ )
     7. do as in the video :
     
     (on the video I'm going to open the Q-select and move the mouse, the first minute the Select and its animations are very responsive, but then the lag starts, and around 4min the application becomes so slow that it's no longer usable, and if I continue for 1h it will eventually crash.)

     if you don't want to watch the whole video, watch the first 20 seconds and compare with the 4min +.
     
     ### Flavour
     
     Quasar CLI with Vite (@quasar/cli | @quasar/app-vite)
     
     ### Areas
     
     Components (quasar)
     
     ### Platforms/Browsers
     
     Firefox
     
     ### Quasar info output
     
     _No response_
     
     ### Relevant log output
     
     _No response_
     
     ### Additional context
     
     Quasar version : 2.17.0
     Vue version : 3.5.5 & 3.5.6
     Os: Ubuntu
     GPU : Nvidia GEFORCE 3080 RTX
     CPU : Ryzen 9 (5000 series) 24 Cores
     RAM :  32 Go
     Borwser : Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu [canonical-002 - 1.0] 130.0 (64 bits)
     
     # important note :
     
     I created the project with vite 2, vite 5 beta and webpack, it's the same problem with Firefox.
     
     isn't this caused by the Websocket connection of the debug mode with Vite client (or webpack)? since in production mode there is no lag.
     
     Thanks in advance

there's also a discussion here https://github.com/vuejs/core/issues/11901 with the Vue team about this problem, I hope we can find the cause soon. (is it related to Quasar? or Vue?)

There is a leak in Vue, it is located at the level of :

node_modules/@vue/shared/dist/shared.esm-bundler.js
