Because TP5's memory measurements are meagre and usually fail to detect even obvious regressions. And this leak only occurred in unusual circumstances; AWSY is much better than TP5 at detecting regressions (though still far from perfect) and it missed this case too.

Yes, that's exactly right. The orange/perf bugs are not major bugs, but they're enough to keep us from doing a full landing. But meanwhile a wider test audience is likely to shake out bugs that don't emerge from our automated test coverage. We found a few bugs that way in our last trial run. It'd be good to be able to work on those in parallel. > Do we have the telemetry or feedback channels in place to > measure what you need to measure? We'll be keeping an eye on telemetry measures like cache hit rate and response time. The other feedback channel is to alert engineers and other nightly users that this is happening so we're more likely to get bugs filed.

Enabling new HTTP cache on nightly (browser only, not automated tests) soon
In February we briefly turned on the new HTTP cache ("cache2") for a few days--it was quite useful at shaking out some bugs. We're planning to do this again starting in the next day or two--if this seems like a Bad Idea to you please comment ASAP in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1004185 Note: like last time, cache2 will be turned on for nightly Firefox desktop users only, and not for android/b2g.
