Details

In XUL Fennec we'd dump all the background tabs on memory pressure to try and save ourselves. We could do the same in Native Fennec. If we don't think that's needed anymore, we should flip the javascript.options.gc_on_memory_pressure so that we get the automagic GC at least.

XUL Fennec would also fire a memory pressure event when it goes into the background, so as to make it less likely to be killed by the system.  I don't know if native Fennec still does this.
