Executing "new getHiddenHTMLWindow().Audio()" in ibSounds.jsm causes us to leak the hiddenWindow.xul window at shutdown.

I couldn't find anything to do to fix this leak, and I suspect it's a Mozilla bug anyway.
Filing a bug here just so that we don't forget to investigate more / file a BMO bug.

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
