## Timeline - DocShell Markers (unused in the Firefox Profiler)

The Gecko Profiler records marker data, but it doesn't include all of the markers available in the system. There is a competing implementation of markers used exclusively by the Firefox Devtools that are recorded per DocShell. These are not currently integrated into the Firefox Profiler.

## Tracelogger (unused in the Firefox Profiler)

While the previous performance tools collect information about how Gecko runs as a whole, Tracelogger is specific to the SpiderMonkey engine. Tracelogger is not sample based, therefore it records every step that the SpiderMonkey engine performs to run a given chunk of JavaScript code. It's primarily used by JavaScript engineers, and includes a firehose of information often reaching into the several gigs of information. There is no current integration of this information with the Firefox Profiler.
