Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031413 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008031413 (on Fedora F8)

Steps to reproduce:
- Open the Places Library
- Close Firefox with the Library open
--> Leak

Note: was not able to leak more nsGlobalWindows during the tests and also it does not leak when you close the Places Libary Window before you exist. So this bug might only wanting and not blocking.

Also might another testcase of the leak from Bug 423185

Don't see this on windows: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008051011 Minefield/3.0pre

Is this still a problem? Could be related to bug 433231, too.

Re-asking for the wanted flag that was set before I moved the bug to Firefox:places.

Wanted, but only barely since it only happens when closing Firefox. We should get this on trunk first.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
