Attached file leak lolg
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008020423 Firefox/3.0b3pre

Steps to reproduce:
(this leak seems not be 100 % reproducible, so i don't request blocking for this leak, but think we should have it on file)
- New Profile
- Go to the new Addon Manager "Get Add-ons"
- Type a search query in the addon manager window
-- Leak when the connection time out and you get the "Firefox is unable to retrieve addons"
-- Leak when you click the cancel button, while Firefox is searching for Addons
Flags: blocking1.9?

This only leaks when we fail to connect to AMO and you shut down with the addmon manager window still open. So it's possible that necko is keepting things alive here somehow if the network connection is still open. So this is possibly a generic problem talked about in bug 412207.

But since this only leaks when the extension manager is still open it doesn't sound bad.
