Comment:
I think we should revisit this in the ff38-esr timeframe. I am very
nervous about Mozilla's belief that they completely fixed the underlying
problem of being able to disable Javascript on a tab, and I'd like to
review that code in-depth. However, it seems a little silly to dig through
the ff31-esr code right now only to have some crucial detail change on us
in ff38-esr.
Unless of course there is a way to avoid the memory leak by removing the
event suppressors in an unload handler or something similar while
disposing of the associated tab. That might feel a little safer to me.
Maybe. I still think I'd be wary of doing this in the 4.5 series though...
