Description

[Mike Ratcliffe [:miker] [:mratcliffe] [:mikeratcliffe]]

Debugging memory leaks in tests I was getting sick of all the ++DOMWINDOW and ++DOCSHELL lines polluting our test logs in debug builds. I quickly looked into it and it turns out that you can add this to you .zshrc or .bashrc to disable them:

# Disable those annoying +++DOMWINDOW and +++DOCSHELL printfs from Firefox logs
export MOZ_QUIET=1

You can also send this when you do try runs... it makes the logs easier to read and makes the tests run faster because there is so much less logging:

./mach try -b do -p linux,linux64,macosx64,win32,win64 -u xpcshell,mochitest-bc,mochitest-e10s-bc,mochitest-dt,mochitest-chrome -t damp-e10s --setenv MOZ_QUIET=1

This should be added to the documentation.
