[2] https://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.63/GMemoryMonitor.html

Actual results:

Right now, when system is under memory pressure, Firefox get killed due to high usage of memory.

Expected results:

When GMemoryMonitor is implemented, Firefox releases as much memory it can, so it prevent OOM urge to kill it due high memory usage.
