1908308 - provide a ready-to-run CLI of profiler arguments

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[:gerard-majax]

There are many traps in how to transform about:profiling configuration into command-line actionable items (either via env variable MOZ_PROFILER_... or for --gecko-profile... for try). It involves finding the correct source file that does some of the matching then manually deducting arguments.

It would be super helpful if about:profiling had a way to generate ready-to-run CLI parameters for try as well as env variables
