User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170623101701
Steps to reproduce:
We have been using Firefox 45 successfully for a while. Upgrading to 52/53/54 leads to an incredible slowdown that actually makes the browser completely unusable. (Using a new profile did not help, neither did safe mode.)
There are several factors that might or might not play a role in this, our setup is rather non-standard:
High number of CPU cores (28 / 56 threads)
High amount of RAM (192GB)
Users connect using remote X, nobody works locally
We use Gentoo Linux.
I have attached the output of Gecko Profiler. Please let me know how else I can help make this issue more reproducible.
Actual results:
Opening a simple web page that has a spinner icon in the middle will freeze Firefox for about 10 seconds. Scrolling is visibly more laggy than it used to be.
Expected results:
No regression from 45
Addendum: After upgrading Thunderbird from 45.8.0 to 52.2.0, it also behaves extremely sluggishly.
Blocks: e10s-spinner
Severity: normal → critical
OS: Unspecified → Linux
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64
Summary: Firefox slowdown with new UI → Firefox slowdown
Version: 54 Branch → 52 Branch
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Firefox: 54.0, Build ID: 20170608175746
I have tested this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 on latest Firefox (54.0) release and I haven't managed to reproduce it. I have opened more then 10 tabs and when I have navigated through them, all the pages were successfully loaded without encountering the "spinner icon".
@Weiss, what version on Linux are you using? Also, you encounter the issue on any kind of pages or only on some specific pages?
I have loaded the attached output of Gecko Profiler and here is the link: http://bit.ly/2tX80pU.
I am not an expert but maybe is similar with the one provided in bug 1374995 comment 5? Mike, sorry to bother you again, but can you please take a look at them?

@Cosmin Thank you for looking into this.
It does not appear to be related to the number of open tabs. Also, it is not directly related to the spinner icon -- the spinner icon just makes it very obvious. Even typing this right now feels sluggish, everything behaves slowly.
Also, I cannot reproduce the issue on my laptop, for example, so it must somehow be related to our setup here, maybe because of X forwarding?
We are running 4.9.16-gentoo on an up-to-date Gentoo Linux system.
Since bug 1374995 mentions it being better in 56.0a1, I'll try compiling it and see if that changes anything.
One theory that I have, which might be wrong obviously: Did the redraw behavior of Firefox change somehow? We have a high resolution monitors (4K) and run full screen Firefox on them. This did not use to be a problem, but maybe Firefox now redraws the whole screen with its new UI, leading to X11 forwarding issues even over gbit lan?

OK, there were actually two simple facts to figure out what the issue is:
* Making the window smaller improves everything substantially
* The network traffic is at full capacity when doing something.
So it appears this is a general regression that makes X11 forwarding work much worse, from what I can guess Firefox redraws everything now, not just what needs to be drawn what it apparently used to do because it worked much better.
So if anyone wants to test it using X11 forwarding, I'm sure they'll experience the same issues.
Summary: Firefox slowdown → Firefox slowdown when using X11 over network
And the reason that the spinner makes it so obvious is that it triggers so many redraws which are then queued and lead to tons of network traffic that needs to be transmitted first.
Also, since Thunderbird is affected just the same, what component does this belong to?
Thanks for providing more information!
I am not sure what is the right component for this, but I am still investigating.
Weiss, since you said that on older Firefox versions you haven't encountered this issue and given the fact that the issue seems to be related to something that is specific to your setup, could you please try to find a regression range using Mozregression tool?
Information on the tool is available at http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/.
In the provided link you have the details in order to install the mozregression tool on Linux at "Install" section and also how to use it at "Quick start" section. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you encounter any problems.
This will help us to find which bug regressed this.

Wow, the Mozregression tool is amazing.
Unfortunately, it didn't work all the way for me, this is the log. I could go quite far (~0 steps left), and then it stopped working:

You couldn't go forward, because the changesets are too old. So here is the puslog: https://goo.gl/jViUwG but I can't tell what issue caused this.
Can you please attach the "about:support" page? In order to do that, navigate to "about:support" page, click the "Copy text to clipboard", paste it in a document (ex Gdoc) and attach it here.
Also, you can go to "about:config" page and set the "browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2" to "false" and retest the issue in order to see if is still reproducible?

Setting "browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2" to "false" has no observable effect.
I can go ahead and try bisecting between ac39fba33c6d and 1e6bb5a9d9e2 to identify the very commit that caused the issue. I'll just have to figure out how to do that with hg, only used to git.

OK, so I bisected:
The first bad revision is:
changeset: 283845:432ef38dab95
user: Lee Salzman <lsalzman@mozilla.com>
date: Wed Feb 10 10:59:35 2016 -0500
summary: Bug 1241832 - change gfx.xrender.enabled pref so that xrender compositing is no longer used by default. r=jrmuizel
And indeed, setting gfx.xrender.enabled to "true" fixes the issue in current Firefox versions.
So I suppose this is a dup of Bug 1280795.
Since setting gfx.xrender.enabled to "false" by default makes Firefox completely unusable over network, maybe "true" should remain the default value?
Awesome! thanks for investigated this.
Weiss, can you please verify if the issue is also reproducible on latest Nightly (56.0a1) build? You can download it from here: https://goo.gl/apsXxJ
Lee, can you please take a look at this issue?

Clearing needinfo - lsalzman seems like the person with the right information here.

This is a known issue, for which toggling the gfx.xrender.enabled pref is the only workaround we offer for right now. We deprecated use of Xrender internally due to various X driver bugs and inconsistent performance for almost all users, outside of this rare remote usecase.

Unfortunately this is the use case of any multiuser linux server with thin clients. The fact that this bug was closed as a duplicate of a bug with virtually no useful information or traction is disheartening. Do you have any suggestions on improving the performance of X thin clients that are hit by this issue? Setting gfx.xrender.enabled does not seem to fully correct the performance regression from 45 to 52.

I have to agree with this comment. There systems in place that rarely get updates because of their isolation. The ability to change only occurs after a long period of time. This problem with Firefox only recently recognized because one of these systems is being updated and core application has been moving towards a web app.
I agree that the above is not a common use but it is an extremely useful one. The ability to run a browser on a remote system so that there's less ability for security problems to affect a user workstation appeals to people that who desire to keep a user's workstation locked down. Changing this mindset will difficult and probably require at least one to two years of pushing on a requirements process.
I'll also note that ESR only releases are only supported on long term support distributions. Firefox normal releases are not supported due to library requirements. These limitations makes this kind of bug even harder to detect.
I understand that organization is balancing the needs of the most common use cases against those that are not as common. It's just painful as always when something is going away that is needed by a small subset of users.
