Here is the strings kept around by XMPPSession while my Gtalk account is connected:
modules\xmpp-session.jsm: "Instantbird"
modules\xmpp-session.jsm: "PasSwOrD"
modules\xmpp-session.jsm: "gmail.com"
modules\xmpp-session.jsm: "1A34D8BCFB8DDCD7"
modules\xmpp-session.jsm: "retina"
modules\xmpp-authmechs.jsm: "PasSwOrD"
modules\xmpp-authmechs.jsm: "f.queze"

"Instantbird" is the default resource (exported symbol from this module...), "retina" is my account's resource. "f.queze" and "gmail.com" are part of my JID. The hexadecimal string is the stream id (not sure we really want to keep it). I really dislike that we keep around the user's password, and that we keep account the object from xmpp-authmechs. After the session is started, we no longer need that.

Note: the patch is completely untested; I'll test it the next time I restart my debug build (I would like to keep the current process of it running the whole night to see if memory usage of JS strings increases after a few hours...).

I don't see anything unreasonable, but please test it before checking in!
