(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P2])

STR:

1) Open a fresh firefox for android process
2) Navigate to: http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/27/how-i-hacked-my-tesla-with-amazon-echo/
3) Scroll down until the embedded youtube element
4) Close the tab
5) Open about:memory in a new tab
6) Click minimize memory usage
7) Click measure

At this point you should see an entry like:

  top(none)/detached
    window(http://venturebeat.com/...)

Note, if you don't scroll down to the youtube element the page doesn't leak.

This is possibly related to bug 1269364, but I'm not sure.  Writing them as separate bugs for now.
I tried with Settings > Advanced > Plugins set to disabled, but it still leaked.  So its probably not flash.
