Firefox Wayland, extreme slow performance

Your distro name and version

Fedora Kinoite 40

Description

The performance is incredibly slow. Not only opening and loading new tabs, but also opening the NoScript overview or doing anything else.

I can try to debug this further. This is what I got for now

I can attach that dump
618c94a1-c1b5-51db-49f3-3f2f3e96014e.extra.txt

I added the .txt extension for Github to allow it.

These are my configs:

services.toml

[common]
executable_name = "/usr/bin/firefox"
share_local_time = false
filter_disk_sync = false
dbus_name = "org.mozilla.*"

[wayland]

[network]

[pulse_audio]

[home_share]
home_paths = [
    "Downloads",
    ".mozilla",
]

[direct_rendering]
enable_aco = false

[notify]

[pipewire]

[v4l]

Okay, so I think enabling enable_aco = true fixed it!

[boredsquirrel]

no that was not the fix. Performance was better but got increasingly worse.

Feels like memory leakage, may be something else.

In the end it crashed and took the fish shell with it, which I used to spawn the process from the terminal. No error output or crash dialog.

I cannot reproduce as bubblejail thinks the process is still running, while there are no "firefox" or "bubblejail" processes, only a couple of other bwrap processes.

I will try to reproduce this evening

Hello @boredsquirrel

Okay, so I think enabling enable_aco = true fixed it!

This setting does not do anything and is deprecated. The ACO vulkan compiler is the default on recent mesa version anyway.

[igo95862]

[home_share]
home_paths = [
    "Downloads",
    ".mozilla",
]

I don't recommend sharing the existing .mozilla folder. Try running the complete fresh instance without any tweaks to default settings.

[boredsquirrel]

hey there! Yes I will try using a vanilla profile.

A few issues are there, I might do some changes to the vanillay config soon.

A different issue, will open a new one. #142

This is a bit odd, maybe a different issue. I will try if I can reproduce the crashy stuff

[boredsquirrel]

I tried again with default configs, just pipewire added, no different shared folders

No clue how this can happen. Maybe you can do an strace when it crashes?
