plugin for firefox make it lag a lot #12479

NOTE: To be sure I stopped the xmrig miner, but the lag remain the same while metamask plugin is activated. Plus, the graphical car does not seems to be used (under 4%) but the fox 3d animation is still lagging like hell (all firefox lag). as soon as I deactivate metamask plugin, everything return to normal. I also notice that while metamask plugin is loaded, there is a thread in firefox that start using about 10% of CPU playing a lot with memory with a lot of (malloc / free call)... This thread seems to be compressing a lot of data with lz4_compress. from what I see, the huge lag in firefox is caused by this thread that play way too much with memory, but I can't understand why it happen only when metamask plugin is loaded. |

@gglobot Could you provide minimum reproduction steps? |

The thing is that for me, as soon as I enable metamask plugin, it start lagging. It look like something is looping indefinitely in metamask... while debugging the module I can see some error message spamming the console, about 1 or 2 message per second. it starts like this: This might be the cause of the lag, maybe there was a problem with my last transaction causing metamask to loop on it. |

Go to Settings > Advanced > Reset Account to see if it helps |

Yes this helped ... since I reset, everything is fine now. |

Here to confirm that this is still an issue - even on a fresh install of Firefox (latest) with a newly created MetaMask account. Websites become extremely slow to load with the extension enabled. Once the extension is disabled - webpage loading speed goes back to normal (very fast). Slow website loading speed can be mostly observed upon initially opening Firefox and attempting to visit any URL. The first page you try to visit will take up to 5-10 seconds to process before it begins rendering the page. Once MetaMask extension is disabled and Firefox is restarted - the first web page gets loaded almost instantly and without any delays. |

I can confirm, that MetaMask Extension slows down Firefox. I had to deactivate the extension in order to work with firefox. The first few pages load normal, then it takes very long to load even simple pages. After restarting Firefox game starts all over again. I even did reset all adjustments in Firefox, with no luck. |

Confirming this is still an issue. Fresh install 4/19/22 using version 10.12.4. Took almost 45 seconds for me to load the first search page of Cars.com. Also noticeable if you have the Momentum home page extension installed. First launch of Firefox takes seconds to load the home screen when MetaMask extension active. Disabling extension causes zero lag time during loading. |

I believe that this is connected to: piroor/treestyletab#3130 |
Lag in firefox since last version
since the last update of metamask plugin for firefox, firefox become extremely laggy and very slow to respond while the metamask plugin is activated
Steps to reproduce (REQUIRED)
-> firefox become very slow to display pages, or to display plugin interface, the fox in metamask interface is extremly laggy... firefox become a real pain to use.
Even loading web page become slow in this condition...
Expected behavior
before the last update even while mining coins with xmrig it was not laggy to use metamask under firefox.
Browser details (please complete the following information):
Additional context (Error Messages, etc.)
this bug might be related to Geforce drivers ... but I don't know how to confirm this.
The computer has 2 graphical cards and I was expecting firefox and metamask to use the CPU integrated graphical card.
The problem is that only firefox with metamask become laggy, no other programs or game become laggy while mining, so I assume priorities are set correctly on the computer (launching miner as background task).
