Not sure if there are specific steps to reproduce, i let Firefox running over night and were surfing only on a few sites, mostly topsites like gmail, facebook, spiegel.de and let my macbook running idle over night. After using Firefox when the Macbook came back from sleep mode and closing Firefox after a few minutes, i got a leak report:

Only Extension installed is webmail notifier.

Can you reproduce this without the webmail notifier installed?

Not blocking since tomcat says he has had trouble reproduce this.

It would be great if anyone who is seeing this can try to figure out any simple steps to reproduce that work in most cases. Especially good if you can figure out if the webmail notifier extension is needed or not.

It is very concerning that simply letting firefox run for a long time causes leaks though, so keeping as P2
