1182180 - Persistent fps meter

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(DevTools :: Performance Tools (Profiler/Timeline), defect, P3)

Description

[Jeff Griffiths (:canuckistani) (:⚡︎)]

Users should be able to browse web sites with a hud-like fps meter visible to them similar to b2g has:

* the fps meter should show a running graph
* the fps meter should show some fps stats numbers: current fps, average, median maybe? 
* the user should have some control over how the fps info is displayed:
 - position on screen
 - opacity
 - ???

You can get some of this today by enabling "layers.acceleration.draw-fps", but it just draws 3 numbers without explaining what they are.

Is there a reason the draw-fps HUD is so minimal? It seems like it's a native part of the platform -- do we want this to be more slick, like three.js' stats[0] or Paul Irish's memory fork[1], or just want the same barebones reporting?

Triaging. Filter on ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC (yes).

This report is related to the old DevTools Profiler.
The Performance panel now points to the new Firefox profiler available at profiler.firefox.com
