Got reasons to believe that, both the Firefox UI hanging and video playback hanging, has something to do with a "UNSTABLE internet connection".

  • SwitchyOmega

    Manage and switch between multiple proxies quickly & easily.

  • I have to use proxy. I used a plugin called SwitchyOmega to configure proxy settings. And the issues page (https://github.com/FelisCatus/SwitchyOmega/issues) showed quite a few complains about the UI hanging. Some says switching to another proxy configuring plugin will solve the problem. Not working for me! Not only did I tried FoxyProxy. I even tried a fresh new profile with no plugins installed! Tried configuring proxy in Firefox settings, still lags! One of the issues posts there (https://github.com/FelisCatus/SwitchyOmega/issues/2197) showed a way to simulate bad network. If Firefox devs have trouble reproducing the issue, might try the tool called Clumsy (https://github.com/jagt/clumsy/releases) mentioned in the issue post. (I cannot verify this for you because I always have a bad network connection. Need someone with a good connection to test this out. See if Firefox lags few times a day with a bad connection.) But how bad the simulated network should be. Well... I can't give a complete answer. My bad network has about 500ms of "lag", and about 40% of package "drop" rate. There are some "duplicates", not sure how much and what rate. The other 3 (Out of order, throttle, tamper) I don't really know.

  • clumsy

    clumsy makes your network condition on Windows significantly worse, but in a controlled and interactive manner.
