How to find and diagnose poorly-performing Firefox addins?
- by Scott Bilas
I use a lot of addins in my Firefox. One of them is causing periodic freezes when watching video. Super annoying.
Aside from doing a binary search of disabling addins to narrow down the problem (which would take a very long time due to frequency of the freezes), are there any other options?
If the problem came from the native app, then I'd just load up a profiler and see where the time is going. But it's all in Javascript.
Are there any tools that exist to help figure this out? Maybe some instrumentation I can throw on a few key source files in a local build to help diagnose the problem?
