User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Build ID: 20151029151421 Steps to reproduce: install a bootstrap extension. I used VideoDownloader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/) . restart Firefox or not. For purpose, I restarted Firefox. Open any page, or not even open page under "tab bar always open" mode. close all the page except for a blank page. under "tab bar always open" mode even not need to really open a web page, just keeping clicking the close button of the tab. Open ccdump addon. There are many zombie "domeventtarget" object in roots objects, further more, the number of zombies has 1:1 relation with the pages/iframes you opened in last step. It's obvious leaks At last I empty the addon except for "bootstrap.js", the leak is still there. so there is no relation with the addon but the addon SDK Actual results: I've read the code. It seems the leak object was "hidden window" object referred when "dsk/addon/runner" go. Meanwhile, firefox process eats more and more memory, which seems the result that due to to zombie objects, all the closed page are kept in memory. You have a Firefox can't close web pages. Expected results: The zombie "domeventtarget" objects should not increase while open/close pages
