Info that I can find on firefox-dtrace-enabled browsers is about a year old. I found something that said it was built into firefox now, but others say you have to build from the source - create your own. If it is built in, how does one go about enabling dtrace? I''ve tried a couple javascript scripts in the 0.99 dtrace-toolkit, but they don''t appear to capture anything from my Firefox 3.03 on Solaris 10u5 browser. The "current status" at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/mozilla-dtrace/ is 13 months old now. Thanks, Russ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Alfred Peng is the one that contributed the firefox 3 build on the mozilla site. As you mentionned it doesn''t have dtrace enabled. Firefox 2 build from Sun Beijing has it. The other issue with FF3 is the lack of integration with GTK theming. I''ve left a comment on his blog regarding the theming issue, you might want to add the issue with dtrace too: http://blogs.sun.com/pengyang/entry/firefox_3_0_3_builds Francois -----Original Message----->Info that I can find on firefox-dtrace-enabled browsers is about a year >old.

Why not just use Firefox 3 bundled with OpenSolaris or Solaris Nevada?

Hi Russ, The Firefox 3.0.x contributed builds for Solaris 10 are made on a s10_74L2a box so that it can work better across different S10 update releases hopefully. The Firefox DTrace feature depends on the "-h" option to generate the header file for the probes, which seems to be missing on the build boxes here. That''s the reason why the feature is disabled. The Firefox 3.0.x with DTrace enabled has been integrated into Solaris Nevada and the upcoming OpenSolaris 2008.11 release. You might want to try this on those two platforms. Another option is if your S10 box has the "-h" support, DTrace can be enabled with the reference to the build instructions here: http://opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=260452#260452.

Hi Francois, Thanks for pinging my blog here :-) A small correction: All the contributed builds uploaded to the Mozilla websites (including Firefox(Thunderbird) 2.0.0.x/Firefox 3.0.x/Firefox 3.1beta and all future upcoming builds) are the contribution from the "Sun Beijing Desktop team" to the Mozilla community. As Firefox 3.0.x depends on some newer version of GNOME libraries (glib, gtk, pango, cairo for example), the contributed builds for S10 are ship with a copy of these libraries. That''s the reason contributed Firefox 3.0.x builds have different themes with the native one.

Thanks for the suggestion but my purpose is not development, and I
don''t have the luxury of re-installing an OS just to use this feature.
I have Sol10u5 and am trying to measure the performance of various
javascript widgets in our ajax-enabled product.
