1136935 - Make sure that Slow Add-on Notification doesn't kill power usage

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Performance Monitoring, defect)

Description

[David Teller [:Yoric] - still alive but not very active]

The Slow Add-on Notification causes regular wake-ups of Firefox. We need to make sure that they don't cause bad power usage.

Two places that could go wrong:
- bug 1071880 has a timer that fires every 15s;
- bug 1134591, if implemented, will have a timer that fires every ~1ms.

about:performance is being redesigned; mass closing the bugs related to parts of the current about:performance page that we are not keeping.

Our goals with the redesign are to reduce the overhead caused by having the page opened, increase the reliability of the displayed information, and make the offered information actionable for most users. The back-end work is being tracked in bug 1419681.
