This page contains helpful resources relating to the performance of our Android apps.

Apps

Android App Configurations

The Android apps are configured independently and so have different performance characteristics.

GeckoView is configured at initialization via GeckoRunTimeSettings https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/javadoc/mozilla-central/org/mozilla/geckoview/GeckoRuntimeSettings.Builder.html

In addition GeckoSessionSettings can be modified to change the behaviour of individual browsing sessions.

App Remote Debugging Content Blocking GeckoView is instantiated Runtime settings configured here
geckoview_example Enabled by default Enabled: all tracking categories App launch https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/330daedbeac2bba296d663668e0e0cf248bc6823/mobile/android/geckoview_example/src/main/java/org/mozilla/geckoview_example/GeckoViewActivity.java#117-136

Performance Measurements

Gotchas
  • Running the apps with Remote Debugging enabled can seriously degrade performance
  • Swipe killing the apps will not kill the Gecko processes. Used adb force-stop, e.g. adb shell am force-stop org.mozilla.org.mozilla.geckoview_example
