I wonder if someone could help on some questions about `GC` on `firefox`.

    • Q1-** Is possible to call the action performed when I click on the button `GC` using javascript?

    • Q2-** on `about:config` there's an option `javascript.options.gc_delay.full`, is this option the same than clicking on the button `gc` on `about:memory`?

    • Q3-** I'm searching about of what of these enumerated options does, and found that:

`1-` Is the default amount of time to wait from the user being idle to starting a shrinking GC.

`2-` `javascript.options.gc_delay` ??

`3-` `javascript.options.gc_delay.full` ??

`4-` `javascript.options.ion.full.threshold` ??

If someone knows the answer to these questions.
