After updating www/firefox from 103.0.1 to 104.0_2 (also to 104.0_3 and 104.0.1), I noticed the CPU at 100% with top showing 300+% on the first Firefox process. This with 103: CPU: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 1.0% system, 0.1% interrupt, 98.5% idle Mem: 3077M Active, 5510M Inact, 223M Laundry, 1606M Wired, 1080M Buf, 5328M Free Swap: 4273M Total, 4273M Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 1632 riccardo 170 20 0 14G 2478M select 0 17:49 0.30% firefox [...and 30 more lines with 0.01% or less...] This with 104: 2361 riccardo 147 25 0 13G 1279M select 0 6:13 334.54% firefox Also tried with a clean profile (using refresh from within Firefox, removing the entire .mozilla/firefox directory and also with a different user). Returning to 103 stops this problem. I have many windows open/iconized, with many tabs. And I usually have /home on NFS. I know it. It's bad behavior, even with lockd and statd. But I also tried with a local /home on SSD. Same high CPU usage. Forever (at least for a couple of hours after starting Firefox). No ZFS, only UFS2 both local and remote. Other tests: - madpilot@ compiled a 104.0.1 without LTO, same high CPU usage - madpilot@ saw it on VM under bhyve Firefox configurations: started 103.0.1/104.0.1 with/without: - "Use recommended performance settings" - "Use hardware acceleration when available" The 103 is still usable, the 104 is not.

Interesting. I have not found this with any recent Firefox on CURRENT, I'm a relatively heavy user (848 tabs at the time of writing, typically across two or more windows with Simple Tab Groups and dozens of other extensions).

Created attachment 236408 [details] Screenshot: Firefox from quarterly on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2 in VirtualBox (In reply to Riccardo Torrini from comment #0) > - madpilot@ saw it on VM under bhyve Here, with VirtualBox: no problem with a fresh installation of Firefox from quarterly. Two packages were slightly outdated at the time of the screenshot, Installed packages to be UPGRADED: curl: 7.84.0 -> 7.85.0 sqlite3: 3.38.5,1 -> 3.39.2,1 -- no problem following an upgrade (the subsequent run of Firefox was busy for a short while, soon settled down to less than 1% CPU).
Hi, I'll explain what I'm seeing. On my main PC I'm running head and package built with poudriere from head. Firefox is perfectly usable here, except some CPU usage peaks on certain interactions, but these could be caused by a lot of things. These peaks were less frequent a few weeks ago, but again could be unrelated. The firefox package I build has LTO disabled, but a quick test shows it makes no difference. In BHyve VMs (13.1, quarterly packages, 2 vCPUs) I noticed firefox being definitely slower at startup and in navigation, with long lasting peaks of CPU usage at every interaction. Also there are firefox processes constantly eating 10-20% CPU even when on a static page doing nothing. This is happening any way firefox is run (via X11 connection to host, RDP, VNC console) Resetting the firefox profile in the VM (by `rm -rf ~/.mozilla) the issue is mitigated, but is not going away. CPU peaks last a little less, but I still see firefox processes eating CPU when idle. Moving the machine to latest packages did "fix" the issue. Firefox anyway IS more jumpy on CPU usage recently, but again, this could be normal behaviour. Maybe the issue builds up with usage, with firefox profile files growing. Maybe it's not firefox but some other dependency, or something specific happening in the profile, or some firefox port option...Or a combination.

Some step into the right direction !! About an hour ago I ran pkg update/upgrade: - drm-fbsd13-kmod-5.4.191.g20220604_1 deinstalled - drm-510-kmod-5.10.113_6 installed - firefox upgraded: 103.0.1,2 -> 105.0_1,2 (reboot) Not perfect as with 103 or lower but much better. - CPU remain to 20-25% (never lower than this) - first firefox process eat 50-70% of CPU (instead of 300+% as before) - WebGL-Fluid-Simulation is responsive - chrome perform much better than firefox :-( PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 1281 riccardo 144 22 0 13G 1549M select 2 33:20 55.86% firefox 1201 root 8 22 0 481M 265M select 3 1:43 3.27% Xorg 1322 riccardo 20 20 0 2678M 372M select 3 0:16 0.29% firefox 1320 riccardo 3 20 0 545M 220M select 0 6:54 0.00% firefox 1291 riccardo 21 20 0 19G 275M select 0 0:10 0.00% firefox [...] Maybe a mix of fix on drm-510 and firefox-105.

Bad news: - latest version of chrome and firefox breaks grafana (maybe something related to drm or video drivers?). It happens either on intel than on nvidia Quadro K5000 (but not on Quadro 2000). Upgraded from 390 to 470 on K5000, no difference. Some more info: - reinstalled all pkg (with upgrade -f, hint from mad@, no difference) - tried a lot of version of firefox (and chrome), from 100 to 106 After a lot of tests (all with clean ff/chrome profile) I found that chromium-103.0.5060.53 is able to show grafana graphs (on my system at least). No way with firefox, from 100 to 106 :-(
Used some hints from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/intel_graphics#DRI3_issues This is my current xorg.conf (very minimalistic): Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "intel" EndSection Added some options: - "dri" "3" - "AccelMethod" "sna" - "TearFree" "true" - "TripleBuffer" "true" but no differences.

How are things with 112.0.1_1,2 (and other packages from latest) on 13.2-RELEASE?
(In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #10) Still on 13.1-p3 and firefox 111 :-( Anyway, after a lot of update related to intel graphics, is seem more fluid. But I'm not able to give you a date where it started to works better. I'm hoping to have time to upgrade to 13.2 this weekend. ps: now cpu is at 16-20%, not the best but much better ;)
