On Firefox4, there are three JIT options:

javascript.options.jitprofiling.*: Tuning JIT compiler heuristics; Profile to decide using tracegit or using methodjit.
javascript.options.methodjit.*: JägerMonkey; Baseline JIT compiler.
javascript.options.tracejit.*: TraceMonkey; native-code compilation.
javascript.options.*.content: Whether it apply to webpages or not
javascript.options.*.chrome: Whether it apply to firefox's interface (XUL) or not

Note: javascript.options.jit.* are replaced with javascript.options.tracejit.*.
