Multiprocess Firefox [e10s] (Partial Release: Fx48)

[iwod]

On Windows, the experience for light weight web usage, where you only ever open 2 - 3 Tab were minimal. Switching Tab delay and redraw were still present.

However when you have true multiple tabs, like 10+ and for me up to 30+ everyday. The difference were night and day. Scrolling is much better. Most things are much more responsive. For the first time ever, I think Firefox is in the similar responsive level as Chrome. Chrome is still more responsive. You can definitely feel it, but considering Firefox e10s still has a long way to go and optimize i guess this is a very good sign.

Also checked E10s for the first time today, after I saw the prompt at startup. The performance is so bad it's not even funny. AMD Phenom X6, 16GB RAM, Win7x64. In usecases where you think E10s should boost performance (loading multiple tabs, browsing while other tabs are loading etc...) everything feels about 5-10 times slower. Disabled for now.

Holy slow performance batman on Max OS X. e10s as an option on load on Nightly. Tried it out, pages slow to open, jerky scrolling, browser stop responding if a tab in the background is loading.


Now off.

Huh? I didn't experience such things like you two on my test profile. I didn't notice anything in particular performance wise. And I have an old core 2 duo.

Fix for Bug 1049275 - Frequent hangs with e10s enabled just landed on inbound. Maybe that will help with the slowness some people are experiencing.

After getting finally time and devs request us to test e10s, I reported these issues:
Bug 1066683 - [e10s-addons] DownThemAll! doesn't work completely
Bug 1066797 - [e10s] Opened tab with image is positioned wrongly on tab bar
Bug 1066802 - [e10s] Black flash on whole page content when swapping tabs

others bugs that hit me when browsing, but they're already reported are:
Bug 1049299 - [e10s] Cannot login on various websites because cookies aren't sent in e10s
Bug 1012784 - [e10s] Dragging a tab out of a window to create its own window does not work
Bug 936092 - [e10s] Support drag and drop



@ avada - you're on Windows like me, they're on Mac

When in doubt. Create a new profile.

[Grantius]

Do you have ABP installed Virtual_man?

[Virtual_ManPL]

@ Omega X - Yep, I know
or use Nightly Portable

@ Grantius - Yep, works fine here
I saw only problems with DownThemAll! which I reported and with Session Manager and Google search link fix which are already reported.

[Grantius]

EDIT: nevermind.

There are still a couple of issues holding me back from using it in my day-to-day browsing, the lack of functional PDF.js and spell checking are the two things I hope will be fixed in the near future. With those done I'll definitely take the plunge and actively use it (instead of random spot testing).

Someone confirm this for me:

1. Install Adblock Plus. (Either stable or dev build)

2. Open e10s Window

3. Browse a site with ads. Observe said ads, then close that window.

NOW

1. Go to Options and click "ENABLE E10S".

2. Visit the site you went to previously in the e10s window.

3. Observe Ads. There should not be any.


From what I've seen ABP works in full blown e10s, but not in the optional window.

running nightly 09-12 on yosemite beta 2. with e10s enabled tab switching and tab loading is noticeably slower than when turned off. also seeing higher accumulative cpu load with e10s.

overall stability is good and nice to see progress on this front. hope the performance issues get fixed. the 34a1 builds were very fast and on par with chrome.

[Gingerbread Man]

Someone confirm this for me:

Done.

Issues I'm aware of:

• (1256) ABP does not work with Electrolysis enabled
• (1367) Element Hiding Helper (EHH) doesn't work with Electrolysis (e10s)

From what I've seen ABP works in full blown e10s, but not in the optional window.

I think this needs add-on interposition (bug 1066838).

@ Grantius - [...]I saw only problems with DownThemAll! which I reported [...]

Update - Only DownThemAll! *nightly* builds doesn't works properly with e10s, as stable build DownThemAll! 2.0.17 works fine.
