This data never gets freed until app dies as the xpcom object lives through the lifeof app.

Marking Verified/Won't Fix.

Are we assuming system gc here? Aren't we supposed to free the memory *before* quitting?

We need XPCOM to shutdown. Esp if it was say embedded. I thought I had a bug on this and marked it from WONTFIX to ASSIGNED. This is Deja Vu.

XPCOM has shutdown now. What we still need is unloading of libraries. It is commented out since libraries dont implement Canunload()

This will require XPCOM reviews of all components.
