New Firefox Performance Testing Documentation

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)

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
  • Script: Script to configure Firefox Performance Testing Framework
• 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:

For example:

$./perfconfig.sh
