jonas, peter: the steps to reproduce are similar to the steps from Bug 411593. 

Could it be that we have a general problem with leaks when extensions have this
options button in the extension manager ?

I've filed bug 412136 for a generic leak when opening the preferences for extensions from the add-ons manager. Seems like it hits a lot so it's unlikely to be extension specific.

not leaking after the fix from bug 412491 went in and using Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012105
Firefox/3.0b3pre

-> Fixed
