• You need 2 bookmarklets in your browser to enhance the work with taskcluster
  • Create a new bookmark, name it Stop, add javascript:stop(); to Location
  • click and drag the sort table link to your Bookmarks Toolbar. Rail found a fancier sort table here
• Find the email with subject: "[desktop] Build of Firefox-46.0b4-build2" - it contains a link to the task graph
• After the task graph is loaded click on the "stop" bookmarklet
• Click the "sort table" bookmarklet - you'll get "a/d" table headers
• Sort the table by "State" ascending, so you get unscheduled and scheduled tasks first
