Details

As seen in bug 1154494 comment 27, users expect that the nsIGlobalObject for a sandbox will keep its reflector alive, but this is not true, requiring an awkward workaround where the reflector itself has to be explicitly rooted. bz said in IRC that this is because SandboxPrivate does not preserve its wrapper.

The main difficulty is going to be fixing the leaks that doing this will likely cause.
