1193916 - FPS counter in QR Code format

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Gecko Profiler, defect)

Description

[António Novo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (masking-agent; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20150812030206

Steps to reproduce:

Setting
layers.frame-counter
to true.


Actual results:

The frame counter is no longer displayed in a human readable format, instead it presents a QR code (valid & correct) with said information.


Expected results:

The FPS counter should display just the actual numbers (displaying it in QRC form adds nothing of value, not even on mobile).

This was an intentional change (bug 1015659), but I'm hoping Benoit will comment.

This is intentional. Maybe you're looking for the FPS counter instead? 'layers.acceleration.draw-fps'

You are right, that pref does indeed serve my needs.

However I still find it rather redundant to have two prefs for what is essentially the same data just presented in a different way (BTW, the QR code one paints over the numbered one, invalidating the "benefit" of having two settings [maybe one of the prefs can have a sub-pref indicating the format in which to present said data?]).

Guess I'm gonna close the "bug", thanks for the help.

It's not the same data. One shows the frame-per-count, one shows the frame number.
