User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Build ID: 20171211020921 Steps to reproduce: Fast switching between macOS accounts freezes the Firefox instance that is running in the newly logged in account. Actual results: Firefox freezes and/or acts extremely slowly. Expected results: No freezes or any sort of noticeable lag.
OS: Unspecified → Mac OS X
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64
Btw: I'm using `LaunchBar` to switch accounts; not sure what kind of AppleScript it's running in the background to do the actual switch.
This also happens to me when returning from the lock screen. Reproducible in macOS 10.12 and 10.13 with FF 58b11.
