Worst April Fools prank ever. :(
That's a little hilarious, considering that bug 1137933 is MemShrink bug.
It's always a tense relationship between space and time.
First, going to ensure that bug 1150200 did introduce the regression. The graph looks pretty definitive though.

Once confirmed, I'm testing a hypothesis where we only QI the docShell to nsIWebNavigation once - we'll see if that moves the needle back.

Baseline before bug 1150200: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=14a12c1a160e
With patch for bug 1150200: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=96f9802ed6ce
With idea: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=efb98cc97963
So, I suspect that this was caused by something other than my patch.

Here's the compare talos between the baseline (before patch) and the patch for bug 1150200:

The TART numbers really don't budge at all. So... outside influence? Perhaps something was up with the machines?

Also, a look at the graph shows that the regression has been wiped out anyway by an fx-team merge[1]:

So... I think this is a WONTFIX. jmaher, do you concur?
