[Brian Nicholson (:bnicholson)]

I can consistently reproduce this if I just rotate about:home repeatedly between vertical and landscape orientations. After the 6th or 7th rotation, it crashes.

Yeah I can too

Comment 3

[Brian Nicholson (:bnicholson)]

I filed bug 838398 for the rotation memory leak. That was introduced in Fx21, so there must be something else causing the crash here.

This OOM will probably be fixed by bug 863288.
