The unfortunate reality is that software is becoming more bloated and almost all websites (even the simplest ones) suffer from this. However, I don't accept that the browser should get slower and hang due to this and think that it instead might be a misbehaving add-in with a memory leak or something.
The problem is that I have no tools to debug this. Viewing the stack trace in something like Process Explorer or Process Hacker (now called System Informer) gives me a high level overview of what the code is doing but just tells me that it's in the JavaScript engine or xul.dll.
Is there any sort of logging I can turn on? Some way of profiling the JavaScript that the browser itself is running. There used to be a way of opening the dev tools on the browser chrome but I can't find that option any more (or maybe I am just thinking of DOM Inspector).
