Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20171029102300

Steps to reproduce:

Loaded the PDF at: http://de.free.aero/contents/light2017de.pdf


Actual results:

1. the content process spiked to 3GB 
2. on my 4GB laptop, the content process was killed by the OS because of a OOM situation:

[10779.856670] Out of memory: Kill process 5898 (Web Content) score 568 or sacrifice child
[10779.856728] Killed process 5898 (Web Content) total-vm:5245400kB, anon-rss:3343964kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:8kB



Expected results:

2. the PDF should simply load, without causing Firefox to consume huge amounts of RAM.

I suspect that it's the same issue as in bug #1410381, so I'm duping it there.
Reopen if it's not.
I am not sure this is the same as bug #1410381, please un-duplicate.
Could you please try to reproduce the issue on Firefox 56 (stable version) and on Firefox 57 (beta version)?
