Title:
  open tabs using too much memory

Status in Web Browser App:
  In Progress
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  See initial report on barajas project:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/barajas/+bug/1376165

  Basically we should free the resources of open tabs when they move to
  the background during the running of the browser as each tab uses much
  memory and cause the system with low memory, especially on krillin, to
  start killing everything with the oom killer.

  See the details in the barajas report.
