Those are points that would be great, formatted in a Firefox bug (or rather, enhancement request). By the way, Firefox has don't-load-till-opened tabs, it's just not on by default. Go to the preferences, "General", click on the "don't load tabs until selected" checkbox. Also, in "about:config", the "plugins.click_to_play" option (which I believe is now on by default) allows you to block plugins by default. Go to "about:addons", in the plugins section, to specify which plugins you wish to block by default. Close enough too, but like I said, a bug report targeted at HTML media (not just plugins) would probably be well-received.

I gave up on Firefox (sobbing, I might add) when I found 1) it would bog out hopelessly with the tab loads I was throwing at it 2) all the worse when I was running Chrome in parallel (which is worse for memory management but allows me to reclaim it usually by killing off tabs), and 3) I got hooked on Stylebot for restyling websites. The fact that Debian tends to stay well behind the Firefox / Iceweasel release curve (and manual updates suck) hasn't helped, though it looks as if I've got Iceweasel 24 available now. I'd have to check to see how much of the memory-management goodness has gotten into it. All that said: yeah, I'll see if I can't find FF bugzilla and write that request.
