Introduction

Cygwin Setup

  • Cygwin
    • Download cygwin. Install cygwin with the DOS-style line endings.
    • At minimum, you are required to have the following additional tools:
      • unzip (Archive category)
      • wget (Web category)

Note: For some reason, we can't get output from Firefox unless it's wrapped in a Cygwin sh shell. So we use cygwin for that, and to sync between Firefox runs.

Configuration

Save the script

  • Save this script at a desired location
  • Edit the script to your own choosing. You may provide a list of extensions to install and test in the config.yaml section.
  • Note: This script will run the performance testing. If don't wish for that to happen, simply comment out the last line of the script:

Run the script

  • From cygwin, run the script.

For example:

$./perfconfig.sh
