Running with XPCOM_MEM_LEAK_LOG=2 shows leaked nsDocument and nsGlobalWindow.

CC logs showed that it was a DETH that was being holding things alive. The DETH expando indicated that it was for a MediaDevice object, which is being held alive by the Navigator object, but not traversed or unlinked.  Poiru, here's an example of something that a CC static analysis should detect. ;)
The test case itself also pretty obviously points at Navigator, now that I am looking at it.  Anyways, this is an example of the sort of leak (stick an expando on an object you'd never normally do that on!) that we only really notice with fuzzing.
Jesse, do you remember why you marked bug 1046245 as the regressor?  From code inspection, it looks to me like bug 1033885 would have caused this.  It doesn't matter much either way, I'm just curious.

Trivial patch, with test.  I didn't add mMediaDevices to Invalidate(), because we don't really need to explicitly clear it in the dtor.

try run just in case:  https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=a7e9e017d4a3

Tell the cycle collector about Navigator::mMediaDevices.

For consistency, could we perhaps do the unlinking in
::Invalidate(). If we want to start to keeping stuff alive longer, we could then
change all that stuff.

With that r+

I just marked the bug as "blocking the affected feature", without checking whether the bug existed back to its introduction. Is that something I should stop doing?

That makes sense. I don't really understand the ordering of the landing of those two bugs, but I guess it doesn't matter. ;)

No, I think it is a good idea, I was just trying to figure out if my analysis might be wrong. I mean, it still might be.

Done.

Approved for uplift to aurora and beta. Has tests, fixes a leak; in theory this is just what we want to be fixing and uplifting to beta!
