Currently layers are hard to debug. It's even harder when just trying to match a layers dump and a screenshot from a bug report. I'd like to propose that we throw it an approximate node name for the layer' closes parent element if that possible.

I think I saw botond have something similar in his local patch queue? I'd like to get this landed in layers dump.

Good timing :) I'll be posting a patch to bug 958596 today that you'll be able to make use of for this purpose.

More specifically, my patches to this for scrollable layers. If you want to do it for all layers, there is likely to be some additional work involved.

Doesn't build right now because I'm in the middle of remoting LayerDebugInfo.

Working. The content name are too verbose:

I landed something similar in another bug.
