Aaron Klotz, Avi Halachmi and I have been studying Firefox's performance on Android & Windows over the last few weeks as part of an effort to evaluate Firefox "content performance" and find actionable issues. We're analyzing and measuring how well Firefox scrolls pages, loads sites, and navigates between pages. At first, we're focusing on 3 reference sites: Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo Search.
We're trying to find reproducible, meaningful, and common use cases on popular sites which result in noticeable performance problems or where Firefox performs significantly worse than competitors. These use cases will be broken down into tests or profiles, and shared with platform teams for optimization (feeding into Platform's 60fps initiative). This "Content Performance" project is part of the larger organizational effort to improve Firefox quality. This is the first progress update: https://blog.mozilla.org/vdjeric/2015/06/26/announcing-the-content-performance-program/ I'll try to regularly post about our progress. You can can also track our efforts on our mailing list and IRC channel: Mailing list: https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/contentperf IRC channel: #contentperf Project wiki page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Content_Performance_Program _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
