Posted patch patch — — Splinter Review 
While debugging bug 802108 I noticed that the ActivityProxy.js component doesn't get a chance to clean up its message listeners because we currently trigger that when the page goes away which does not happen often for some apps like the homescreen.

Since a DOMRequest can only fire success or error once, this patch cleans up the message listeners as soon as possible.

We discussed during triage that Fabrice would ask for aurora approval but we won't block on this.

Pre-approving in support of better memory usage on B2G.
