Firefox does not load homepage completely when operating in Single-process #507
Comments
Nowhere in this bug report shows having anything to do with uBlock Origin, you changed an advanced setting in Firefox and Firefox is having issue on your end. I can't reproduce, but changing that setting breaks new tab page in Firefox. |
I am sorry but i can not have firefox to use multi-processes because that way it uses over 90% of my physical memory which then leads to pages being loaded very choppy (Black squares). Issue might be only on my side but its definitely has something to do with uBlock Origin because when it happens and the page doesn't fully load, disabling uBlock makes firefox to complete loading the page and then re enabling the plugin again works fine after that. It is only at the startup of the browser. |
@TOW87 Do what that guy did in this comment and report back if its working for you. TLDR: Refresh your Firefox profile. |
I thought about adding a timeout to release the pending promises at launch, but I feel this would have the bad side effect of hiding issues like the one here (assuming the idea works in the first place). The issue here seems to be a Firefox one, uBO is not designed to care about the number of processes, that information is outside it's knowledge, so this suggests a Firefox issue but I haven't had the time to better narrow down. |
I cannot trigger this even on this ancient laptop I have. And I CAN reproduce now by setting Reproduced on desktop pc with Firefox stable, but not with beta. |
In your console output, it says
You would probably get the same result with |
Ok I reproduced, so @gwarser you quite probably nailed the cause of the mysterious hang-at-start. Fix is somewhat trivial, but I will published a dev build for now and I will publish an emergency fix tonight on AMO if no regression reported meanwhile. |
Hmm I can fix the hang, but uBO is still broken because the root failure is that uBO is unable to read the user settings. Unless someone uses all default settings. any customization will be ignored at launch time because reading user settings fails -- and this part of the issue is squarely on Firefox's side. |
No one wanted to do this... |
Default settings |
If you have solid steps to reproduce, create new issue. I was asked yesterday to check my STR on bugzilla and I cannot reproduce anymore. First time I spent few hours testing various settings without success, and then when finally happened I was able to reproduce again and again on two computers triggering it by changing uBO advanced setting that should not have any effect. |
