Details

When plugins are set to load automatically, going to http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Mechanisms causes the many YouTube videos to all start buffering immediately. spiking memory usage in plugin container.
The plugin container is only a small shell around the plugin. The increased memory means that the flash plugin itself consumes the memory. Note: Please do not file bugs in Firefox:general. That is in 99% of all cases wrong. Use Firefox:Untriaged instead, thanks.

Yeah, there's not a lot we can do about the Flash plugin using memory in this case, since that's what it's supposed to be doing basically.
