[Bug 1160994] New: Firefox very slow after update to version 72
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160994 Bug ID: 1160994 Summary: Firefox very slow after update to version 72 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox Assignee: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: boogle33@posteo.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 827577 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=827577&action=edit about:support After update to version 72 on tumbleweed, firefox has become painfully slow. The problem did not occur with version 71. example 1: google maps is almost unusable. example 2: the graphics tests 4,5,6,7 on https://web.basemark.com/ Most importantly: If I download binaries for Firefox 72 directly from https://www.mozilla.org, the problem does *not* occur, Firefox is as speedy as usual. The problem occurs even when starting with a new, clean profile (deleting .mozilla in home directory). The problem occurs on two different laptops. about:support is attached (both for the version from the tumbleweed repo and for the version directly from mozilla). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please also share your desktop environment? GFX hardware seems to be Whiskey Lake 3x8 GT2? And because I'm wondering about basemark. I have no comparison because I haven't used it before. What is your total score there? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160994 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1160994#c2 --- Comment #2 from Christoph Karrasch <boogle33@posteo.net> --- I am on KDE (tumbleweed snapshot 20200113). Correct, Whiskey Lake 3x8 GT2 (Intel UHD graphics 620). The second laptop on which the same problem occurs is also running KDE (tumbleweed) and also has Intel graphics (Iris Plus 640). Basemark score for Firefox 72 (clean profile) from Tumbleweed repo: 270 Basemark score for Firefox 72 (clean profile) from Mozilla: 390 However, these scores might be misleading since not all tests seems similarly affected - it seems that only the graphics-intensive tests are affected. Example: Test 7 (draw-call-test) runs 30 seconds on Mozilla's build and about 8 minutes on Tumbleweed's build. I could share a screen capture if needed. As a test, I just installed firefox-esr 68.4.1 from the tumbleweed repo - esr is *not* affected! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Compared 72.0.1 and 68.4.1 on my Leap 15.1 system: - graphics from basemark moving faster 72.0.1: 270 68.4.1: 314 Just a very quick thought does not reveal larger differences in build and patches between both. Obviously some typical fluctuation in patches being obsolete or rebased. So the difference between openSUSE versions of ESR and regular are VERY small. Compared with upstream we use gcc instead of clang but as ESR is not (as much?) affected as regular it somehow think that it's a combination of Firefox core changes and probably toolchain. As a first step I can switch from gcc to clang to see if that is related. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

PS: I just ran a diff on about:support, comparing Mozilla's and TW's build. Config seems exactly the same:
since you have upstream available right now. Can you please compare about:buildconfig? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I could not guarantee lab conditions in my benchmarks but what I had with web.basemark.com: gcc build: 270 clang build: 301 Some anymations were visibly faster but 68.4.1 still had a higher score (built with gcc). Also Christoph's findings:
Basemark score for Firefox 72 (clean profile) from Tumbleweed repo: 270 Basemark score for Firefox 72 (clean profile) from Mozilla: 390 are not close. I had 270 but I only reached 301 compared to 390 with clang.
I try to build and publish the clang build from here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/mozilla:experimental but OBS seems to have worker issues so huge packages like Firefox are waiting currently for ages to be built. Once some build is available. I would need feedback from comparison on other people's machines. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I just checked this repo, it seems that the x86_64 build for tumbleweed failed? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
