User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060308 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.11 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060308 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.11 Although it is a known issue that many addons will slow down Firefox, there is no official tool for measuring the effect that individual or multiple addons have on Firefox. Internet Explorer 8 now come with this feature, for measuring the load time and other Extensions' effect on the browser's performance. Therefore, I request that Firefox also include such a metric. This will help encourage responsible Extensions' development, help users troubleshoot problems, and help users configure Firefox for performance as well as features. Thanks. Reproducible: Always

I second this; Chrome even comes with a task manager that shows how much memory, CPU and network any part of it eats. Right now, it's way to complex to figure out why FF suddenly gets sluggish.
I third this lol; it is a very good idea. There are many times when firefox seem very slow one day then fine the next. I would like to know why!

Mass-closing old Extension Compatibility bugs that relate to legacy add-ons or NPAPI plug-ins. If you think this bug is still valid, please reopen or comment. Sorry for the bug spam, and happy Friday!
