[opensolaris-summit] Firefox w/ Dtrace

[Alfred Peng]

Hi Brian,

There is a project in OpenSolaris community for this Mozilla DTrace
stuff: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/mozilla-dtrace/. Our
development work with Mozilla community is mainly based on the Mozilla
bugzilla and Mozilla irc(irc.mozilla.org) #developers channel. If anyone
is interested in this, please join the discussion by adding to the bug
interests list.

Also a blog post by John Rice for this patch putback:
http://blogs.sun.com/jmr/entry/dtrace_mozilla_rfe_dynamic_tracing. And
some other posts about DTrace probes development in his blog.

DTrace is really helpful in this case, especially we're trying to get
more attentions from the Mozilla community for Solaris, such as to
leverage developer resources or even get official support in the future.
It could be helpful in some other projects as well I believe.

Best Regards,
-Alfred
