Details

The weak pointer callback allows the browser to update possibly finalized or moved weak pointers during a GC.  At them moment it must act on all weak pointers in the system, even if the GC only requires it to act on those for a subset of zones.

Although not the main issue, this might help cases like bug 1122196.

Is this still a thing?  Because bug 1122196 has since been closed incomplete
