If you fix the way you're generating (and disposing of) the elements, that should resolve the problem. In short, I'm pretty confident the problem is unrelated to GSAP. DOM nodes are just way more heavy and difficult for the browser to manage. That effect would be **MUCH** more efficient if you did it with canvas (and still animate it with GSAP of course). Eventually it requires too much memory and the browser just can't manage it all. Of course animating them adds to the load on the browser, but ultimately it's just a really dangerous thing to do (keep adding to the DOM). Hm, I'm not surprised that's crashing the browser - you're creating infinitely more and more elements and adding them to the DOM without ever removing them.

If we disable the animations the site is smooth, so it's definitely not any of the other scripts on the site causing the issue.Īny help or insight into how to avoid these crashes would be greatly appreciated. The website is kind of old at this point and has an older version of GSAP on it, but we have a local version of the site with all the libraries updated which exhibits the same behavior.

It runs fine in all of my browsers on Windows but again, in Firefox on Mac, if you try to scroll around it freezes and eventually crashes. I tossed together a sample using the same kind of transformations and similar amounts of animations in the the codepen link attached. Chrome and Safari run the site fine, and all three run fine on Windows. We've had two separate Macbooks running different versions of Firefox crash on the site now. It recently came to our attention that the site sometimes crashes the browser, but only specifically on Firefox for Mac. See Get help fixing this crash for details.A while ago we built a website using GSAP, which can be seen here for reference: We use TimelineMax and TweenMax to power all of the animations on the site. If possible, please include a crash Report ID when you post your question.
