Another relevant one is bug 936784. The bug reporter is seeing a terrible memory leak (and subsequent crashes) in FF25. In FF26 and FF27 it has reduced to a much milder leak. The bug reporter is very responsive and gave me lots of additional info via private mail, but unfortunately the relevant site is proprietary which blocked my attempts at investigating further. Anecdotally, my wife told me today that some people at her work were complaining that FF25 used "way more" memory than previous versions.
