Re:Everyone can now track down noisy tabs

I gave up on Firefox (sobbing, I might add) when I found 1) it would bog out hopelessly with the tab loads I was throwing at it 2) all the worse when I was running Chrome in parallel (which is worse for memory management but allows me to reclaim it usually by killing off tabs), and 3) I got hooked on Stylebot for restyling websites.
The fact that Debian tends to stay well behind the Firefox / Iceweasel release curve (and manual updates suck) hasn't helped, though it looks as if I've got Iceweasel 24 available now. I'd have to check to see how much of the memory-management goodness has gotten into it.
All that said: yeah, I'll see if I can't find FF bugzilla and write that request.
