If we can't fix the underlying issue, maybe there is a way to detect this slowness and offer the user some options.

We need to qualify this further before it's actionable.
This is the reddit thread where this came from: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/19x7up/we_are_the_firefox_user_experience_team_this_is/c8s44v8 Maybe there's something in there to make the issue more reproducible (didn't have time to read through it yet).
Removed from Backlog based on team feedback from the point estimation meeting.

Consider: bug 754604 - Performance regression with many open tabs. – and more recent: bug 1089917 - Firefox is very slow with many tabs with heavy graphics > Summary: Firefox is very slow with many tabs → Firefox is very slow with many tabs with heavy graphics
Severity: normal → S3

This lacks a testcase. And using Firefox on Mac for the past couple years, I can't say I've seen a general slowing over time with many tabs.
