Can firebug profile JS heap objects ?

[Evan Hon]

Hi,  I am using chrome dev tools , and find the profile JS heap object is very useful for me to detect JS memory leak, Now, I am engaged in a project which using firefox as default browser, but unfortunately , I didn't find such tool (panel),  So my question is does the dev team have the plan to add this function ?Thanks and best regards

Firebug only has a CPU profiler at the moment available inside the Console panel. There was a try to integrate a memory profiler earlier, though it turned out not to be that useful. So we decided to remove it again for now. Though there's already a plan to integrate an enhanced memory profiler.
For now you can try out about:memory.

You might also take a look at CCDump extension (Cycle Collector Graph Analyzer)

The extension is based on nsICycleCollectorListener, limited but useful in some cases.
