User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20170925150345 Steps to reproduce: 1- open this page https://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.html 2- wait until it fully loads. 3- keep an eye on CPU usage Actual results: I notice high CPU usage(25%) while this page is loading and it keeps consuming high CPU even after it fully loads. the browser becomes less responsive. *I made the test with fresh profile to make sure everything is on default. *Tested with Firefox 57 beta and also latest Nightly on Windows 10. Expected results: Visiting the same page on Chrome, the CPU usage is way lower(less than 10%). this is not the only site with this behavior, pretty much any website with busy content and media in it, consumes way higher CPU with Firefox 57 than chrome 62. I repeated the test again with Hardware acceleration disabled on both browsers and had the same results.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 I have tested this issue on Windows 10 x64 with the latest Firefox release (56.0.1), latest Beta(57.0b11-20171023180840) and the latest Nightly (58.0a1-20171025230440) and haven't managed to reproduce it. When loading the provided URL in the browser, after the page fully loads and leaving the tab opened for a couple of minutes the CPU usage doesn't incrase higher than 10%. In order to investigate further, could you please share a performance profile, using the gecko profiler addon from https://perf-html.io/?

I have 4 year old i5 CPU, also I tested it on two PCs and on both, Firefox 57 consumed 2 to 3 times more CPU usage than Chrome with this page.

Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows 10 all give me a CPU load of about 10%. Can you check without add on, if you haven't already.

Can > you check without add on, if you haven't already. can you also test it on another Browser(like chrome)? in my case, Chrome CPU usage with this page is less than half of Firefox 57 usage.

I get similar results, ~10%, on windows 10. I am testing latest Nightly without add-ons. Do you want to try that?

(In reply to Alex Chronopoulos [:achronop] from comment #5) > I get similar results, ~10%, on windows 10. I am testing latest Nightly > without add-ons. Do you want to try that? So chrome has similar results With Firefox on your Windows PC?

I can reproduce this, around 15% to 30% CPU usage on a i7-4720HQ. (GNU/Linux) But at the same time Chromium's CPU usage is almost the same for the mentioned address (a bit less at the highest peak)...

I can reproduce. Here's a profile: https://perfht.ml/2zsCUMu There clearly some videos/animations on this page that may provide some hints as to what is taking up CPU.

On Linux, we don't use the GPU too much, and this is doing graphics-heavy things, so this could explain the issue we're seeing. On windows, things should be better, but we blacklist some driver for stability reasons. Reporter, can you provide your about:support here as an attachment ?

As a response to the Comment # 66 on Bug 1420608 from the_goodone1 I've made the current measurements on my Windows 8.1 machine for the scenario specified in this bug: opening the https://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.html and recording the power use on Firefox Nightly ( 59.0a1, 20171227100314 ), Chromium, Opera and IE11. The recordings of opening and then waiting for almost a minute each time are attached in the image here, and different runs are labelled. Firefox Nightly has a higher average and the higher peaks than any other tested browser. Chromium wasn't able to animate the content (I guess for not having the codecs enabled), Opera based on Chromium animates and shows a little lower average and lower peaks, and IE 11 uses even less power and has even lower peaks while showing the animation on the page. Testing on the notebook makes the difference between different browsers much more obvious as reaching the higher temperatures due to the higher average power use results in much more fan noise and even a few Watts of difference is easier to hear. Using "Intel Power Gadget" to measure the power used has the advantage of having a very compact representation of the whole minute of the work. I hope the_goodone1 can do the same measurements after downloading Nightly, creating a brand new profile (by starting Firefox.exe with -p option in the command line) and then measuring one minute with the "Intel Power Gadget" https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-power-gadget-20 which can be downloaded for any desktop platform. We would at least have more comparable measurements here which hopefully can result in some actual investigations. I do observe that when there is some video content Firefox consumes on average more power than any other browser, but in this specific case the difference is smaller than what happens on some other pages.
