Attachment: leak log

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031413 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008031413

Drivers: this is only a small leak with a specific scenario, so i think its
only a wanted bug, but no Firefox 3 blocker!

Steps to reproduce:
-> Install the HostIP.info Geolocation Plugin Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/663
-> Move over the Extension Devs Names/links on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/663 to test the Extension
-> Close Firefox
--> Leak

The leak log also looks similar to the one in Bug 423324

This bug does not meet the new maintenance release (1.9.0.x) criteria (security, stability, regression from maintenance release).

This addon hasn't been updated since 2008. It sounds like it didn't work with even Firefox 3.6 and requires Java or something.
