The second leaked object is already fixed in bug 336680; the first one is known but currently unfixable.

Comment 2

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

Silver: could you explain why this first leak is unfixable?

Comment 3

[James Ross]

Because no-one has been able to identify what is leaking it. We know exactly what object is being leaking (the <browser>'s XBL binding), but no idea where or how.
