1906255 - Add a way to easily disable the nursery in the browser

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: JavaScript: GC, task, P3)

Description

[Jon Coppeard (:jonco)]

For testing purposes it would be useful to be able to easily disable the nursery in the browser, but unlike other GC features (e.g. compacting) there's no flag to disable this.

I tried setting the max nursery size to zero in about:config but it wasn't clear that this had done anything.

I think this also wants to be set for Workers in the same place as we disable compacting https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=JSGC_COMPACTING_ENABLED&path=RuntimeService.cpp&case=false&regexp=false
