Bugzilla

Thanks, this is extremely useful. The process playing YouTube isn't particularly large but the extension process is huge, it's taking almost 1.5GiB of memory on its own. Looking at the various bits under that it seems that VideoDownloadHelper has allocated and never freed **hundred** of megabytes of 2-byte (!) strings. So it seems that it's leaking memory somehow, can you try disabling the extension and seeing if the problem goes away? I'll inspect the other crash to see if they're also using the same extension.

[edit] I misinterpreted the memory report, it's not 2-byte strings, it's TwoByte strings so non-Latin unicode strings.
