Thanks for the hint, actually what we have here is failing XPCSHELL tests shutdown where we execute JS in the parent process, IIUC. In fact the PID of the asserting process is marked as parent process here.

Could it be that we create a reference cycle when we use IDB within the parent process (as in XPCSHELL tests) that otherwise will not ever exist?
