User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new profile 2. Go to https://js1k.com/2016-elemental/demo/2552 It is fast 3. Enter google.com in the same tab, and go there 4. Press the back arrow to come back to the JS demo Actual results: Demo becomes very slow Or atleast the animation slows down. Expected results: not so
on returning back, there is no CPU starvation. So this looks more of a throttling issue
Summary: JS demo slows if you navigate away from the page, and then return → JS demo throttles if you navigate away from the page, and then return
i can reproduce the issue on Win10 Nightly64.0a1 x64. Regression window: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=e2009551c1be&tochange=2dfcc10c7270 Regressed by: Bug 1145439
Blocks: 1145439
Component: General → Canvas: 2D
Keywords: perf, regression
Happy to take a patch in nightly; if it seems low risk enough please feel free to request uplift to 65 beta.

Layout (or maybe DOM) is probably a better place to triage for now. Seth is no longer around who introduced the regression, but the regressing bug mostly modified features in those areas.

CCing :tnikkel, it seems to me that we need to update Document::mVisibilityState when the document is restored from the BFCache.
Setting P3, it might be severer but it's been an issue since firefox 40.
