User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0 Steps to reproduce: -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections was added to enable unreachable code and identical code folding in linker. They however have additional overhead by extra padding at the section boundary and link-time overhead. With -fno-lto these save about 8MB of binary for Clang build and 5MB for GCC build. With -flto I get only small size increase. with sections https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=cc95b0d31e990fc1072a68fb3fc0fcdcf3d4074c&selectedJob=219244560 with no sections https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=4017ed21216daed72939a3c1179185ec34921060&selectedJob=219250182

Per conversation with :kmoir, I'm going through untriaged bugs in her components and marking the ones which look to be enhancements/tasks with the enhancement severity to get them out of the triage queue.
If this incorrect, please remove the tag.
