Firefox for Android: Consistently freezes entire browser after a few seconds of use. about excalidraw HOT 3 OPEN

hi, can you check the excalidraw version (righclick on canvas -> stats -> general stats panel -> click on the version to copy it to clipboard).

Also, does it reproduce on desktop browsers?

The version is whatever is live on excalidraw.com as of right now; unfortunately the version isn't showing up for me on mobile even after enabling the stats option from the context menu on mobile.

The issue doesn't reproduce on my PC's version of Firefox, but I do have some new insight that I will edit into the original post after posting this reply:

If I reset the canvas (something I hadn't done before), the issue does not reoccur on Android until I zoom out. So I think the issue might have something to do with memory consumption after zooming out (it probably allocates more memory on an as-needed basis for resizes).

memory consumption after zooming out (it probably allocates more memory on an as-needed basis for resizes).

Likely memory, yes. Zooming out would increase memory only if there was a lot of shapes all over the place that you could see only after zoom out. Otherwise zooming out should either keep the memory constant, or reduce it (we keep offscreen canvases for each shape, the size of the shape on canvas. On zoom out the shape gets smaller, thus the offscreen canvas gets smaller as well).
