Details

There is some documentation on https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/ , but it's mostly targeted at users of the Profiler (how to capture profiles, and how to understand them).

It would be good to have developer-oriented documentation for the most important profiler APIs, e.g.: How to programmatically control the profiler (for tests), add labels, markers, and counters, etc.

See "Adding Documentation" at the bottom of https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/index.html

We also have front-end developer docs: https://github.com/firefox-devtools/profiler/tree/master/docs-developer

It would be nice if the Gecko Profiler docs would by co-located in tree though. Perhaps some of the front-end developer docs would need to move over to the Gecko side as well.

We have docs! https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/tools/profiler/index.html
This started in bug 1641000 (thanks Greg!).

So I'm marking this bug here fixed. Future improvements should have their own bugs.
