I have tested this issue on Ubuntu 16.04 x64, Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with the latest Firefox release (47.0) and the latest Nightly build from the specified source in the description (49.0a1-20160511055410) and managed to reproduce it.
After downloading the build, when opening another Firefox the debug message with the memory leak is displayed in the terminal.
