FF leaks. There is no 'think' or 'paranoia' about it.

I've been testing this extension for a while now and I have seen only
leaks from extensions. phpbb user hide seems to leak pretty much always
when hiding users. And some extensions also leak when opening the
extensions dialog and goofing around with it.

But this extension actually looks pretty good when compared to anything
I've tested before. It will alert you almost instantly when memory is
leaked, instead of waiting untill the browser is closed. This makes it
much easier to figure out where the problem is. It also shows you the
javascript code and filenames that help you pinpoint the problem,
instead of just showing that memory was leaked.

The point of this extension is to locate the leaks to get them fixed.

Yeah, mine leaks memory out through the monitor. I can tell by the
little piles of pixels that accumulate under the monitor. Makes me
sneeze -- I'm allergic to pixel dust. Haven't figured yet how to plug
the leaks.
