  • Opening multiple tabs in background causes spinning beach ball

  • BugsDesktopDone

janpeeters Can you reproduce this in a clean new Orion profile with zero extensions? That would be a first step (rulling out extensions causing it). Second try Develop -> Emty cache if you get it next time and see if it helps.

      I'll try, but this will take some time, very busy at the moment.

      I suspect that it's either the amount of active tabs (or something that's happening within those tabs) or an extension that's playing up. So for me also discovering if it is an extension, and which one is important. So I'd rather first test with the current situation.

      Is there a process monitor in Dev tools with which I can see the process that occupies the CPU at the moment when I get a beach ball. What do I look for? And how do I use it?

        I've created new empty profile and there everything runs smoothly.

        In the profile I use normally, with all plugins active, I deleted the cache, that didn't change the behaviour.
        When I deleted my full browsing history, Orion stopped showing the beach ball and was also a lot more speedy in loading pages. I cannot reason why though.

          This is vital piece of information. It implies that accumulation of browsing history can somehow hinder browser performance. Are you able to reproduce this at all, by artificially making the history big?

          There were months of history in there. I could start visiting a lot of pages but that would take too much time atm.

          Maybe you guys can make an Apple Script that does random searched and visits the first three pages (or something) to stack up history. Might be faster then me visiting all these pages ;-) I’ll keep an eye on it and report back.

            janpeeters We would if we did not have 2,000 issues open. Still rely on community to help with this.

                I can understand that @Vlad, and it’s alright. My weeks are nevertheless also overfull so this issue will have to wait until someone else experiences the same and has time to provide additional info.
