New Firefox Performance Testing Documentation
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
- Edit the script to your own choosing. You may provide a list of extensions to install and test in the config.yaml section.
Run Firefox Performance Tests
- From cygwin, run the script.
For example:
$./perfconfig.sh
