Description papoteur 2012-09-15 09:37:03 CEST

Description of problem:
When I get a page in Firefox with a lot of animated images .gif, the load of one CPU rises to 100%.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm -q firefox
firefox-10.0.7-1.mga2

How reproducible:
Display the page http://gifs.toutimages.com/images/fete/anniversaire/index.htm

The same test with konqueror or epiphany gives a smaller load.

Workaround
Set the image.animation_mode to None or Once instead of true.

Is that a Mageia bug? It rather looks like a firefox upstream issue.

I do not know where the the problem comes from, thus I start to put it here. Not all users are affected by this problem, thus I think that a couple Firefox with something of the system causes the problem.

Is it still valid with firefox 17 which is in the Core Updates media?

If yes, is it also valid with mozilla's build of firefox ESR?

If yes, is it also valid with mozilla's latest version of firefox?

For the version 17.0.8 of firefox, the load is yet between 50 and 70 % of a processor.
I think this is acceptable, altough it is high.
I did not test with other versions.
