Got 305,056 B (00.26%) -- compartment(about:neterror?e=dnsNotFound&u=http%3A//611796266781.comet.etherpad.mozilla.com%3A9000/comet/xhrXdFrame&c=UTF-8&d=Firefox%20can%27t%20find%20the%20server%20at%20611796266781.comet.etherpad.mozilla.com.) when loading http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/testday-20110923 but no actual error was displayed at any point in time.

The compartment doesn't go away even if I've clicked "Minimize memory usage" a number of times

Although you hadn't gotten network error pages for the etherpad, had you gotten error pages for any other sites?

Does the compartment go away when you close the etherpad and minimize memory usage?

What's your user agent?  (See about:support.)

No errors in any other pages, that was the only one loaded.

It does go away when the tab is closed, but it reappears when I load the same URL in another tab.

Oh cool; I see it too.

1. Load http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/testday-20110923
2. Load about:memory?verbose
3. Look at the list of compartments

Result: There is a compartment for about:neterror?e=dnsNotFound&u=http%3A//509780700102.comet.etherpad.mozilla.com%3A9000/ (note the "comet" part)

Is 509780700102.comet.etherpad.mozilla.com loaded as an iframe, an XHR, or what?

Is it a zombie compartment for you, Jesse?

Comment 6

I can't reproduce the zombie aspect of this.

Comment 7

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Still can't reproduce, nothing I can do here.

Comment 8

[Nicholas Nethercote [inactive]]

Using the STR to comment 4, I can't even see the "about:neterror?..." compartment.  Should we close this bug as incomplete or invalid?

WFM too.
