Question

Beta Firefly is extremely buggy at the moment.

I don’t know what changed behind the scenes but at the moment beta image generation screen. Yesterday constantly was freezing and today is constantly refreshing itself with very weird GPU spikes. 

 

It is practically unusable at the moment.

 

 

Edit: Same problem with different browsers too.

    There used to be a toggle that allowed me to return to the previous experience. While the previous interface was not particularly polished and still needed significant improvement, it was at least more usable than the current beta.

    Conceptually, the new experience looks better, but in actual use it feels like something that was quickly vibe-coded and released without enough testing. Trying to complete a real project has been incredibly frustrating. The interface constantly refreshes, files sometimes download multiple copies, scrolling randomly stops working, white screens appear, and old prompts can suddenly return and wipe out settings or work I had already changed. The entire experience is also noticeably slow and inconsistent.

    My biggest issue is that I can no longer return to the previous experience. A beta should allow users to test a new workflow without forcing them into something that is clearly not stable enough for production use.

    If this experience is moving out of beta in its current state, Adobe has some serious problems to address. The new design has potential, but reliability and basic functionality need substantial work before this should replace the previous experience.

    At this point, I am not satisfied with the experience as a paying Adobe customer.

    @Tarun Saini I should answer these before i screen record(tad bit busy for the setup of that)

     

    • Does this happen every time you switch away from the Studio tab, or only during image generation?

    Yes, basically if i switch away and then come back to studio tab/window it refreshes always.

    • When Studio refreshes, do you lose any prompts, settings, reference images, or generation history?

    I do not lose anything other than little bit time. Load times can vary after this happens.

     

    • Approximately how long does the browser freeze before it becomes responsive again?

    5-15 seconds. Varies. 

     

    • Does the issue occur with all Firefly tools in Studio, or only specific features (for example, Text to Image, Text to Video, Generative Fill, etc.)?

    Yes. It happens with every part of it.

    • Are you seeing any error messages in the browser console when the refresh or freeze occurs?

    For refreshes only one repeats itself consistently just before the refresh is this one:

     

    Store d of type tool is waiting in _connect for more than 10000 ms. hz-startup-shared.dea****.js:15435:76605
    Store h of type canvas is waiting in _connect for more than 10000 ms. hz-startup-shared.dea****js:15435:76605
    Store R of type artboardSequence is waiting in _connect for more than 10000 ms.

     

     

    For Freezes, specifically freezes after refresh happens (very likely thanks to reloading all the history and all) i saw this error:

     

    [tiptap warn]: Invalid content. Passed value:

    Object { type: "doc", content: (1) […] }

    Error: RangeError: Empty text nodes are not allowed

     

    My guess is it is unrelated, because replicating the freeze is tad bit hard, i am not sure.

     

     

    • If you leave Studio open and do not switch tabs, does generation complete normally?

    If i stay in window, never refreshes, extremely rarely freezes. One side note though, for whatever reason some games i switched too does not cause this.

    If you change window or browser tab and then return to Studio, Studio (not the page) refreshes itself and while generating images it freezes the browser for a few second.

     

    Tried this with both Firefox and Edge. Same thing happens in both. ,

    Tried deleting the cache, cookies etc. Nothing worked.

    Tried disabling sleeping tabs forced focused etc. Still no dice.

     

    I know it happens directly inside the studio, not as full webpage.

    Thanks for sharing the screen recording. I’ve escalated the issue to the team. Please avoid creating duplicate threads, as this can make it difficult to track the issue and updates across multiple conversations.

    Provide your prompt and reference image(s) if there are any?

    Which model(s) are you using?
    Consider clearing cache, cookies, and using a different browser.

    Could you give us more information: what msg are you receiving? Are the images your own photos/ images? Were the images generated by another AI Source, if so which one(s)?

    Workflow is nothing complicated. Just a reference image and then prompt using that. Like a creating t-shirt mockups.

    HI miidesign!

    Which Beta feature are you using? Could you try hard refreshing the browser and see if that helps?


    Let us know if you're still having issues.

    Thanks,
