The changes in version 1.112 of  xpcom/components/nsNativeComponentLoader.cpp disable the unloading of loaded DLL's. This makes it very hard to see if an embedded browser is leaking, because the logging functionality is closed before the DLL's are unloaded. The result is deliberate according to the comment:

    // XXXbsmedberg: do this as soon as the static-destructor crash(es)         
    // are fixed

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Several memoryleaks reported that are not leaks at all, but memory freed after logging shutdown.

nsNativeComponentLoader doesn't exist any more.
