1502413 - service workers are misattributed to the browser in about:performance

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Performance Monitoring, enhancement)

Description

I saw a couple times a service worker for gmail being shown as a subitem of the 'Nightly' item.

The root cause is that we probably don't have a way to attribute this worker to a specific tab, as it could be used by more than one tab.

I think the correct fix here would be to do a best effort attempt to find the relevant tab (eg. if I've got only one gmail tab, it should be possible to find this).

If we want to just hide the problem to avoid user confusion, we could just drop all the remote urls (eg https://) for subitems of the browser, as a browser component can't be remote.

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.
