[Tomatoshadow2]

Has anyone tried tab warming lately?

[mayankleoboy1]

I have.
Good news: Nothing breaks
Bad news: Cant notice any improvement

[Tomatoshadow2]

Awesome thanks very much, will turn it back on, I hope there is improvement in the future.

[Lurtz]

Looking at telemetry we're talking about an improvement of about 35 ms tab switch time to about 3 ms. So that is massive, however on fast machines tab switch time is so fast already, that it probably isn't that noticeable for most people on normally behaving sites.

[Tomatoshadow2]

Thanks Lurtz, is a restart required for the preference to take effect?

[Lurtz]

I think it is recommended.

[Caspid]

"Tab Warming works by initiating the rendering of the page the moment the mouse cursor hovers over a background tab in the Firefox browser."

I wouldn't expect much of a difference, as I can't imagine people hover tabs for long. Also, I expect most power users use ctrl+# or ctrl+tab for tab switching.

anecdotal (and side note, I do use ctrl tab for tab navigation which warming doesn't affect (yet)) but I ran a stop watch timer and clicked about as fast as I felt was reasonable and there was about 100ms between each click, which I think is rather ample time for the browser to do work that it would otherwise be doing after the click.

[Tomatoshadow2]

Will Tab warming be affecting control tab soon? I just click with my mouse, to switch tabs.

[Omega X]

I doubt it, as there's no way to predict when you'll select a tab with that method. Tab warming only works with mouse selection on hover.

They could probably prewarm the tab next in line for selection.

[Tomatoshadow2]

Thanks Omega X, appreciate it, I didn't know that.

We're talking about milliseconds here. That's a really small time window.
