Note: debug builds do work

I just tried on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.5 and an optimized build of DMD worked fine. Please reopen if you still see problems.

This still crashes for me, but I had to actually open a "real" website instead of it just crashing immediately.

STR:
- |./mach run --dmd|
- go to a website (google.com, whatever)
- Crashes

This happens w/ e10s enabled and disabled. I tested w/o DMD enabled and confirmed there are no crashes.

Hmm, yes. I think it used to crash before the browser window even appeared, but now it takes a bit longer.

I just tried with --enable-profiling. It works! I was able to open half a dozen tabs and browse around for a couple of minutes. Hooray.

I've updated the docs on MDN.
