If I could see how much memory and CPU each add-on was using, I could make educated decisions about which ones need to stay and which ones need to go.

At this point, when I find that Mozilla is taking waaay too much memory, I disable add-ons, restart, disable, restart, etc. It's a big pain.

Also, this enhancement would make add-on developers more accountable for making clean-running programs.
