User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120304 Firefox/13.0a1
Build ID: 20120304031031

Steps to reproduce:

Version: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120304 Firefox/13.0a1 ID:20120304031031

1. New Profile
2. install 'British English Dictionary' (v1.19.1)
3. check about:support or memchaser


Actual results:

Incremental GC is disabled.


Expected results:

Incremental GC is enabled.

This addon has 1,007,152 users (see AMO https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary/?src=ss). I seriously think this should be fixed before IGC goes public, otherwise a lot of people will be left out of this feature
I have to undo this :)
I was testing this and while doing so I got the update for today and apparently it got fixed, because since the update I seem unable to reproduce this anymore.
and I was doing some additional testing because it was more likely a combination of addons instead of this single one. But I'm marking it resolved now.

I'm sorry I will have to revise this yet again, I'm still seeing the issue.
But not specific related to this or that add-on or it is. Or it is related to a specific control but not consistently. I add here my about:support print: maybe this is already known, but from time to time it switches off, during surfing and then I close and reopen firefox and it is enabled again. I can't really follow what's going on here...

This is likely invalid, when it was first reported, EVERYTHING was causing iGC to be disabled.

As it stands, i cannot reproduce the reported issue in 15 or 16.
Thanks for testing!
