Tab flipping upon restore #282

Open PhatMatt1297 opened 6 years ago

PhatMatt1297 commented 6 years ago

Short description

Upon restore of tabs (18 in my case), TSM kept flipping between a few tabs continually.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Firefox and try to restore a previous session
  2. tabs restore fine, but continual flipping happens

Expected result

I simply expect the tabs to load

Actual result

A few tabs flip back and forth extremely fast and never stop. Deleting (repeated clicking on a tab X) will close a tab, but another tab takes it's place. It is not tab specific. Firefox is unusable as it doesn't really respond and tab focus keeps moving.

Platform information

Additional context

In reading the release notes, "I think" that the recent changes to open tabs faster at startup may be the culprit. Maybe if a tab never "stops loading" then TSM continues to think it should cycle to it. I'm not sure, but that appeared to be plausible. Like ads haven't finished loading therefore the tab is still active.

Does this problem also occur in version 4.2.0?
