NoScript 10.1.1, FF 57.0 Noscript menue causes FF to glitch

[yoshi]

The NoScript menue (the one you get when clicking on the Options button in the dropdown) causes the FF UI to almost lock on Arch Linux when I scroll down the list of sites quickly enough. During scrolling there is first a noticable delay in the scrolling and then the NoScript icons in the menue are no longer rendered. (See screenshot https://i.imgur.com/YWqOqI1) At that point, the UI of FF starts to develop issues, commonly switiching tabs no longer works, at least once all tabs went blank or the FF menue no longer opened. (But in that case the x of the window decoration still worked to close the browser.)

Some additional information:

64 bit Arch Linux
GNOME Shell 3.26.2

Code: Select all

$uname -a
Linux angmar 4.13.12-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 8 11:54:06 CET 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Running FF from a shell, FF emitted a lot of error messages like

Code: Select all

[GFX1-]: Failed 2 buffer db=0 dw=0 for 0, 0, 24, 24
[Parent 2537, Main Thread] WARNING: file /build/firefox/src/mozilla-unified/ipc/chromium/src/base/shared_memory_posix.cc, line 216

so the issue may be with FF rather than NS, or a combination of the two.

Other than that, I am very happy to have NoScript back, great work.

Using 10.1.1rc99 here with Firefox 57.0 on Arch Linux as well, but with KDE. After installation, Firefox became sluggish and there were graphical artifacts to the point that whole Firefox windows got obscured with a single color.

I have noticed that the Error Console referred to error code 24 (Too many files). Surely enough, the default fd limit is 1024 and inspection of ls -l /proc/$(pgrep firefox)/fd | wc -l showed a very large number. Most of the files are named like /dev/shm/org.chromium..... Further analysis with strace -e file -p $(pgrep firefox) shows:

Code: Select all

I have built up a pretty long list of sites over time, could that have an impact on this?

(Btw, is the Github repo already public? There is only one older one at https://github.com/hackademix)

I also have this problem. Graphical glitches on the settings page, scrolling down causes slowdown, affects other tabs. Browser requires restart to be usable again.

Linux Mint 18 64-Bit

Same here on Ubuntu 16.04 TLS.

This seems to have gotten worse with the latest update (NoScript 10.1.3c2)

I've been getting a glitch as well.

I'm running NS 10.1.3 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with FF 57.0.1.

Every time I click on the extension link via the >> menu, it causes FF to minimize slightly and shift it to the right. Not sure why...
