Installing an extension leaks the XPInstall prompt window.  I suspect the root
of the leak is this GC path:

083ffd00 object 0x89f0380 XULDocument via
nsXPCWrappedJS::mJSObj[nsIDOMEventListener,0x8a3f380,0x8416220](Function @
0x08416220).__parent__(Call @ 0x08416210).okButton(XULElement @
0x084157e0).nsDOMClassInfo::sPreservedWrapperTable(XULElement @
0x08415760).__parent__(XULElement @ 0x084155f0).__parent__(XULElement @
0x083ffd18).nsDOMClassInfo::sPreservedWrapperTable(XULElement @
0x084162d8).__parent__(XULDocument @ 0x083ffd00).

which ends up leaking the XUL document because of the event listener we add via
addEventListener.  Fixing bug 241518 would fix this, but that's probably not
happening for 1.8.
