1273297 - Add ability to search/filter console.timeStamp labels in the Performance panel

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Potch [:potch]]

console.timeStamp allows client code to add markers to the performance timeline with a custom label. If one adds *many* markers, there's no easy way to locate a specific stamp in the timeline tool. It would be nice to have a search tool that could point me to the matching timeStamps or a filter that would maybe only show them? not sure of the UX but some solution would be awesome.

Yeah that does sound like it would be nice to have.

I didn't know about console.timeStamp, we should probably remove it now.
performance.mark() works well for this use case and it is searchable in the new profiler.

Now that we replaced the old performance panel by the Firefox Profiler (see Bug 1668219) we're closing bugs related to this. If you see similar issues on the new profiler, please file another bug, and we'll be happy to have a look.
