833507 - Integrated profiler should respect devtools.chrome.enabled pref

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Performance Tools (Profiler/Timeline), defect)

Description

[Jim Blandy :jimb]

By default, the profiler removes samples that are running entirely in chrome code. This makes it difficult to find problems that are entirely chrome-related (in my instance, opening the Error Console janks badly when I have Google Maps open). Although we probably want a nicer UI in the long run, it would be spiffy if the profiler respected the devtools.chrome.enabled pref in the mean time.

Metrofx would really, really, really like this (and by that I mean the ability to profile chrome code is a requirement for shipping the 1.0)

Metro does not support addons, so we are unable to take the current addon based workaround that desktop uses.

We landed another pref (see gear icon for DevTools) to display Gecko symbols. And we already display Chrome JS code.
