| When you say, "non-responsive", do you see tabs displaying their current

| On right-side end (where tabs would be), there is pull-down button (with
| triangle pointing downward). What happens when you click that?

This morning, Firefox is still responsive. Even though it is eating a
lot of CPU and RAM, I still have 3 CPUs that it isn't eating (good
thing it isn't multithreaded) and resident set size is "only" 1.5G,
leaving more than 4G for the rest of us.
Perhaps this is because FF has only been running 7 hours.
So: I cannot run William's tests yet.
