How to test which addon makes Firefox unstable?

Question

I have installed a lot of addons and recently I find that Firefox keeps increasing memory usage and sometimes hangs after 30 minutes running.

It's hard to test them one by one. Is there a better way to test them?

Try to disable them one by one and first try with the latest downloaded addons through tools>addons.
As I said there are many addons were installed then it's hard to test them one by one :(
It's probably not an individual addon then, if you have so many that it would be tedious to disable them one by one.

Remove half of them (32/2=16). Still unstable: the next half, else, the other half.

32-16-8-4-2-1 => 6 steps.

	Thanks, but it's not what I am looking for. It's too boring to do like this. – ITFan Aug 17 '11 at 1:12

Does not seem to be possible. If you want something that will show firefox memory usage in firefox, see here.
