* The Fennec build needs to be "[http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html#debug debuggable]". Nightlies are not, but local developer builds are.
* For profiling pageload, you can generally use [http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/debugging-tracing.html Monitor/DDMS]. Just press the "start method tracing" button, load a page, wait, press the "stop method tracing" button.
* For profiling startup time, you really need to add Debug.startMethodTracing(...) and Debug.stopMethodTracing(). [http://people.mozilla.org/~mfinkle/fennec/profiles/startup-tracing.patch Sample patch]
* Or use the "am start" -P option, e.g.
adb shell am start -n org.mozilla.fennec_$USER/.App -S -P /data/local/tmp/fennec.trace
# wait for Fennec launch
adb pull /data/local/tmp/fennec.trace
# in Monitor, File > Open File > fennec.trace
