Reasons for "Disabled Features" not Documented

[grnnja]

Hi.

I would like to do memory profiling but it is under "Disabled Features" and I can't check the check boxes to enable them.

There is no stated reason for why memory tracking is disabled and the docs don't mention anything either.

https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/

If someone could tell me why they are disabled that would be helpful. thanks

I agree it would be nicer if the reason for a feature being disabled was explained in about:profiling. Or if the features that don't make any sense on your platform were completely hidden, rather than disabled (Java is android-only, "No Timer Resolution Change" is a Windows thing).

If someone could tell me why they are disabled that would be helpful. thanks

Native allocations tracking is enabled on Nightly builds and early beta builds.

Memory tracking used to be the same, but starting with Firefox 136 (with the work that happened in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1806054) it might be available on release builds too.
