For the next update to the week in the life study, we'd like to start tracking
memory use.  ( you can copy the code from  about:memory)

(For display purposes, it would be cool to make the thickness of the
orange/yellow/white bar reflect the memory being used at that point)

I think this was in the wrong component.  Moved over to labs.

add things of people's about:support data in order to get a list of:

 - what plugins are installed, and what versions
 - what add-ons are installed
 - what prefs have been changed (salient to a topic Alex recently posted in dev-apps-firefox)

 - what graphics drivers Windows users are running (needed for D2D decision)
 - memory usage
 - start up time

- Number of enabled/disabled add-ons

This is already done in the metadata of every study; it doesn't need to be re-implemented.
