[BUG - FIXED] Menu delayed/slow when settings are open

Post by Sirus »

NoScript v11.1.5

Hi! Today I updated my trusty NoScript to the latest version (11.1.5) and started having weird performance issue when opening its menu...

After some troubleshooting, turns out it happens only when NoScript Settings are opened in a tab and loaded (issue won't occur if the NoScript settings are present in a tab but not loaded). Whenever opened & loaded, NoScript menu takes a few seconds to load instead of being instant as usual. Once closed (or not loaded), things return to normal. Here's a screenshot:

I found out about this bug while troubleshooting another bug: settings import not working (to confirm).

Thank you!

  1. What do you mean by "loaded"?
  2. Could you please share with me your NoScript Options>Export file, in order to help me reproduce this issue?
  3. Does it happen also on a clean profile with just NoScript installed?
Thanks.

I think I can confirm this in my main profile, with NoScript 11.1.6rc6? But for me it's more like a half or third of a second delay.

I'm not seeing this in a clean profile.

EDIT Importing my NoScript settings in the clean profile, then I get same result as my main profile.

1. If you keep tabs opened in Firefox and close/re-open, tabs are not all loaded until visited. Once visited, it "loads".
2. I can DM you for this.
3. I was indeed unable to reproduce with my a less frequently used FF profile. Note its config file is only 1720 lines while my main one has 3516 lines.

11.1.7rc2 looks to have eliminated this delay here.
