Ok I created a test case which is approximately the opposite of the one you ran. http://getfirebug.com/tests/issues/leak/reloadSimple.html
When you put that URL in to the location bar and append "?v=1" to the end, the page will auto reload until you kill the page. You will probably want to have a second tab open, with eg Firebug off though it might be interesting to try with it on. I ran it until I got 1000 reloads, then I closed the tab and waited a bit to let the garbage collector run if it would. With Firebug open on the Console panel and all panels enabled the memory for Firefox went from 50MB to 65MB. With Firebug closed, Firefox went from 47MB to 67MB. With a different profile, no extensions installed, Firefox went from 45MB to 61MB. These reloads are so fast that I think lots of Firebug code never runs. I can add a delay to insure that the result is more similar to manual reload. By cloning this file and adding HTML, CSS, JS, or net traffic the reload case can be studied. You can try this test case and see if you get the same results. jjb
