(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P2]) 

I've seen few cases when a bugzilla page has been kept alive by
some input element. cycle collector doesn't know about one edge to the element.
For example:
nsGenericElement (xhtml) input id='requestee_type-4' class='requestee yui-ac-input' https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=597034&action=edit

I wonder if autocomplete could cause the problem.
Or is there perhaps some bug in input element handling?

I usually investigate these by breakpointing on Release and seeing where the missing edge is.
This is possibly bug 726334

This could be also bug 728577.

Still investigating. Unfortunately this isn't easy to reproduce.
This seems to be bug 728577. The new patch there should fix this.
