Re: please help me identify this loading screen source

Ah, I found it.. Apparently it is the changing of Firefox to a new process when each tab runs as its own process.. And for some reason BGA/Ark Nova takes a long time to load to the process.... I wish I could fix this. It's so frustrating that I can't just keep the game/tab active in memory all the t...

please help me identify this loading screen source

When I play BGA, particularly Ark Nova, I do my turn, and then I go open another tab to read social media, etc, and I come back, and I get this loading screen for 5-10 seconds. It's really annoying. I am wondering whether it is specific to BGA's implementation or not. It's a black screen with a grey...

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

Hello. Just wanted to post an update here. The problem kept coming back, and I believe I've finally fixed it for good. (Re-installing Firefox would have fixed it, but I didn't want to do that.) .. I noticed my disk cache was 1GB, so I cleared the cache from Firefox settings, and also disabled disk c...

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

I still didn't try a fresh install.. But I thought about it a bit. After I disabled "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory", the situation was happening much less often, but still would unload the tab after a while. So I decided to look for other unload settings. I found "browser.tabs.min_in...

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

If you have (for example) 40 tabs open or something, that could be causing issues. A good test case would be a clean install and/or different Windows 10 system, using just 1 tab to play a game or two. If it still happens, you know it is not tab-related. Yeah, I have about 12 pinned tabs, and 3 non-...

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

Yeah, at first, I thought it was noscript, but the problem came back (since it's intermittent, it's a bit hard to confirm). So I deleted that comment since it would be confusing.. (but I guess it was still confusing, my bad). I did disable hardware acceleration, and that has helped in other ways, bu...

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

I tried disabling all my extensions.. Didn't fix it.

I tried turning off the setting "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" in about.config .. Still hasn't fixed it, though it seems to be happening less.. so maybe that is part of it.

Re: Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

It's Windows 10. Firefox is using about 1.5-2GB, and I have 24GB of RAM in my system. The Firefox install isn't fresh, and I imported all my data from Chrome. If I have to, I can reinstall Firefox, I guess. I was just hoping it was more easily explained by a setting. I have several extensions, so I'...

Help: Switched to Firefox, and strange behavior on BGA

I recently switched to Firefox from Chrome, and I regularly have a turn-based Ark Nova game going. After I come back to the tab when my opponent plays a game, all the images are missing, and it takes a minute for the tab to refresh. It always works correctly after refreshing (manually or automatical...
