Standalone reproducer
Firefox is unable to handle a large number of incoming URI arguments while it is starting up. For example, see the attached standalone reproducer which tries to open 50 URIs one after the other. I am not sure gnome-documents (or any other application) can reliably work around it. We could add a timeout but that's just going to be racy. Depending on the nature of the system, it will either make things slower than they need to be, or won't be slow enough. I tried the same reproducer with Epiphany on Fedora. While it managed to freeze my system for a while (almost 6 year old laptop with spinning HDD), it did open all 50 of those URIs. So, I will hesitantly blame Firefox for this one. Sure, that's probably Firefox fault and may be fixed by D-Bus implementation - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283055 Looks fine in 7.6, two windows are successfully opened and documents are viewed firefox-52.8.0-1.el7_5.x86_64 gnome-documents-3.28.1-1.el7.x86_64 |
