This is because two markers are "nsCycleCollector::Collect" and "nsCycleCollector::ForgetSkippable" which render down to "Cycle Collection". We should consolidate these into the same filter, and probably be easiest to have them have the same marker name with meta indicating if its a minor or major CC, since we don't have anything in place to combine filters like that. If we did, we should probably combine all GC/CC markers in the same filter, and same with Parse HTML/XML.

So these markers are ok to be different -- it looks like they represent different things. Although, we shouldn't have separate filters for these CC markers. In fact, we can probably group together several filters, like all GC/CC markers in one filter, Parse HTML and Parse XML in one filter, etc

Triaging. Filter on ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC (yes).

Unassigning myself from bugs I won't be able to get to due to other commitments.

Now that we replaced the old performance panel by the Firefox Profiler (see Bug 1668219) we're closing bugs related to this.
