bug: Firefox performance deterioration & crashes

[r3dpan]

Browser info

Firefox (Windows) 131.0.3

Browser extension version

1.7.3

Website

The whole browser is affected -> Every page

Bug description

• Browser slows down noticeably as soon as 2Fas extension is enabled
  • Websites take noticeably longer to load & sometimes a reload is required as some media/websites completely fail to load at all
• Browser regularly crashes as soon as 2Fas extension is enabled

Solution

No response

Additional context

For reference every extension in the browser was disabled and enabled again one by one. As soon as the 2Fas browser extension was enabled again, the performance deterioration reappeared.
I was not able to find any incompatibility between the 2Fas extension and any other installed extension.

Hi @r3dpan,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing performance issues with our 2FAS extension. I will look into this matter and investigate the potential causes of the slowdown and crashes you've described.

In the meantime, if you could provide any additional details such as the browser version you're using, the operating system, and any other relevant information, it would greatly assist our investigation.

This has been happening with Safari as well. Safari started crashing non-stop in last few days. Only difference has been installing of this extension (I have not even set it up yet for usage, just installed). (Can share log - if you need. Saved an Apple crash report log. Any email I can share log to - just in case the log might have something I would not want to be in ab public github issue)

You can send me this log to [email protected]. Also, you can turn on debug logs in 2FAS Browser Extension Settings.

I got logs, but there is no any useful informations. We've tested Safari on two different Macbooks, but there is no bug at all. Everything works. We need more cases like this - logs, use cases step by step etc.. If anyone can help us, we will be grateful.

My issue has been resolved so far. Turns out, this wasn't a software but instead a hardware problem on my end (failing cpu).
I do have verified that 2fas works with the same firefox and extension versions on my other devices without problems tho.
