Description

Noticed a visual lag when system is under a load in Firefox 71 (ipfs-companion v.2.10.0) Clicking on "Open WebUI" in browser action menu freezes UI until a new tab is created.

  • check if issue can be reproduced in Chromium
  • check if browser action is closed right after click (before opening new tab with webui)
    • if not, make it so, as it is potential reason of visual lag

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the UI freeze when opening WebUI under load in Firefox. Check if the browser action closes right after click and implement immediate closure to reduce lag. Also test in Chromium.
