Bug 1128502 (marked as dependency) was resolved duplicate of bug 1322485 which in turn was resolved fixed in Firefox 58.

See also Bug 1498193 (same idea, but different proposed API / implementation).

As bug 1498193 is in the dependency tree for bug 1478832 (new-about-performance), so maybe:

  • this bug 1146948 should be added to the tree
  • with greater distinction between the titles of 1146948 and 1498193
Severity: normal → S3
Duplicate of this bug: 1547105

Mass closing about:performance bugs as about:performance has been removed in bug 1836191 in favor of about:processes which displays more accurate data. If this bug still applies to about:processes, feel free to reopen and change the summary.
