irccloud seems to consume a lot of memory on my system. Interestingly, when I close the irccloud tab, it's still consuming resources in about:memory as a "ghost window".

Hi Chris,
I have tested your issue on latest FF release (45.0.2) and latest Nightly build and could not reproduce it. I have opened irccloud.com and Firefox didn't consume more than 170 MB of memory. I've tested this on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and the results were the same regardless is e10s was enabled or disabled.
Is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest FF release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/PNe90E).
Thanks,
Paul.

When I filed this, I was using the current latest nightly build. I am currently using 20160422030223 and can still reproduce (irccloud shows up after closing in as ├──244.96 MB (24.46%) -- top(none)/detached). It may be worth noting that I am using the es-CL version of nightly, not the standard en-US version.
I'll try with a fresh profile and see if I get any different results.

I can't reproduce with a fresh profile.
Any suggestions for how I can narrow down the cause with my regular profile?

When you have a second, can you try flipping those privacy prefs in your new profile and seeing if you can reproduce?
If you cannot reproduce after setting those, maybe next try setting the plugin preferences.
I'm also interested in knowing if you can reproduce this leak with e10s disabled.
If you can reproduce with it disabled, we might be able to use some of the older tools to detect where the leak is.

I can't reproduce with e10s disabled, but now it also doesn't reproduce consistently with e10s enabled.
I couldn't reproduce in the new profile yet.

It finally did reproduce in the new profile. I ended up making several changes:
- enabled the privacy prefs above
- enabled a master password
- enabled firefox sync
Even with those changes it took a long time before I was able to reproduce on the fresh profile.

Ah, interesting! I wonder if it's a syncing of tabs that causes the leak to occur. You can manually cause a sync to occur by choosing the "Synced Tabs" menu item in the menu panel, and choosing "Sync Now" (although, when you first choose it, it should sync automatically).
The master password is also interesting, but I wonder if it's a red herring. Perhaps try the above both with a master password and without.

I am not seeing any indication that memory is being leaked while having a some tabs/channels open at irccloud.
typical about:memory readings
Web Content (pid 2899)
Explicit Allocations
114.84 MB (100.0%) -- explicit
catlee reported:
catlee> irccloud itself is ─193.21 MB (17.25%)
but that is in his working profile and I am sure he has several more channels open than I do.
However, he reports
catlee> e.g. right now I have 1,120.39 MB in explicit allocations
catlee> this is in my regular work profile right now
catlee> so lots else happening
I set prefs, enabled sync and master password as Chris has:

I have not been able to reproduce this bug. I have repeatedly tried with closing irccloud tabs, closing irccloud notifications, syncing tabs, letting multiple channels run in several tabs. In no case have I observed behavior reported here or in bug 1266993.

So, interestingly, I _can_ reproduce this bug, kind of. It's not really a leak though, because the IRC cloud entry in about:memory goes away eventually. It usually takes about a minute, but then it's gone.
catlee - if you have a chance, could you check to see if your experience is the same? Like, when you have a second, close out your IRC cloud tabs (but make sure you keep at least one remote tab open), go to about:memory, do a minimize memory usage, do a measure, make sure irccloud is there. Then wait about 1 minute, and then minimize memory usage, and then measure again. Is it still there?

Alright, I just tried this again. After shutting irccloud down and immediately minimize/measure memory usage, I get irccloud showing up under top(none)/detached windows. About 30s later it appears under ghost windows, and stays there for at least 5 minutes.
Interestingly, I have another related ghost window:

fwiw, the real reason I care about this bug is that I see a lot of GC jankiness after a few days, and irccloud is often consuming the most memory of any of my windows.

Hey naveed, do you have someone who can try to diagnose this? Generally we can't reproduce in our testing but a number of mozilla employees are seeing these irccloud resources hang around for minutes after the tab closes.

I suspect the patch in bug 1266993 will fix what you're seeing. See bug 1266993 comment 7 and later.

This was fixed by bug 1233086.
See bug 1266993 for the diagnosis. I probably should have used this bug rather than that one for that information, though.
