(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P3]) 

This add-on seems to create zombie compartments everywhere. Select a word on the intro page, open the search menu, click ‘Search for "$word"’. Close all tabs. We now have three zombie compartments. One for the intro page, one for the search page, and one that I can't identify:

How did you find out that this add-on was leaking?
FWIW, bug 729378 was about a leak in this add-on as well.
Ah, I thought I'd filed a bug for this add-on before. I didn't realize it had been closed.
Are the steps to reproduce the same as with the other bug?
Probably. I didn't have specific STR for the last bug. See comment 0.
