Talos has detected a Firefox performance regression from your commit 84304d9d0082.  We need you to address this regression.

This is a list of all known regressions and improvements related to your bug:
http://alertmanager.allizom.org:8080/alerts.html?rev=84304d9d0082&showAll=1

On the page above you can see Talos alert for each affected platform as well as a link to a graph showing the history of scores for this test. There is also a link to a treeherder page showing the Talos jobs in a pushlog format.

To learn more about the regressing test, please see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Tests#tp5o_scroll

Reproducing and debugging the regression:
If you would like to re-run this Talos test on a potential fix, use try with the following syntax:
try: -b o -p win32 -u none -t g1  # add "mozharness: --spsProfile" to generate profile data

To run the test locally and do a more in-depth investigation, first set up a local Talos environment:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos/Running#Running_locally_-_Source_Code

Then run the following command from the directory where you set up Talos:
talos --develop -e <path>/firefox -a tp5o_scroll

Making a decision:
As the patch author we need your feedback to help us handle this regression.

Retriggered a bunch of times, and the graph makes it very clear that the changeset indeed caused a regression: http://mzl.la/1zD9bpz
The subtest breakdown shows that it's not one specific subtest that regressed, but all of the pages regressed rather uniformly: http://bit.ly/1E37UNY
Attached patch patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
Caching the bounds seems to fix it.

I am sorry guys I am a bit late because of other works and activities...
It looks like the question has been resolved.
Anyway fix for [Bug 1154676](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1154676) cannot be the reason of performance regression. The fix is just check on null pointer before call of method and no more. And it affects MAC OS(Cocoa) branch only.
