Hi,
We'd like to propose a Mozilla DTrace project for inclusion on
Opensolaris.org. We'd like it to be an endorsed project of the DTrace,
Desktop and Performance Communities.
Initial Project Goals:
1. Design and implement a Dynamic Tracing Framework in Mozilla.
2. Promote the inclusion of this framework into Mozilla head and make it
available in OpenSolaris.
3. Work with the Mozilla and DTrace communities to encourage the use and
addition of custom dtrace probes to help improve performance, resource usage
and quality of both Mozilla products and Web 2.0 applications built on top of
them.
4. Work with existing Mozilla debugging tools, such as their Javascript
Debugger (venkman) and DOM Inspector.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/
5. Use the project as a place to post faqs/ pointers on USDT related stuff,
worked examples of Mozilla performance issues, pointers to blogs and so on.
We've got an initial cut of the framework done against Mozilla head which
allows any Mozilla developer to easily add in their own custom dtrace probes
to Mozilla. As a proof of concept we've added probes to analyze the various
layout phases when a page is loaded. We'll also be putting up a patch to add
Brendan Greg's Javascript USDT probes to Mozilla head which uses this
framework:
