The root leak for nsLayoutStatics here is the nsXMLHttpRequest. I wonder if this is due to network keeping it alive for too long.

weave is no longer used, right?

Comment 3

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

I would guess it's replaced with Firefox Sync?  (In general it's probably better if you ask
the reporter if the bug is still reproducible in a recent version of Firefox.  They are
more likely to know what the bug is about and how to reproduce it.)

I'm no longer working on this.

Leaving this open doesn't seem useful to me. If Tomcat sees leaks with Synch he can file a new bug. :)
