Leak Monitor Extension
メモリー･リークをお知らせしてくれるFireFoxのExtensionがあったので試しに使ってみると、気持ちいいくらいに(?)ぽんぽんとポップアップで教えてくれますw

This Firefox extension detects one very specific type of leak in chrome JavaScript and in Web pages. (Not in JavaScript components, though.) It detects when JavaScript objects in the chrome or Web page are still held by native code after the window is closed.

ちょっとDiggを見に行っただけでこの有様。

ぶっちゃけ、メモリー・リークに対する理解なんて下記の程度なんですが。

A memory leak is a particular kind of unnecessary memory consumption by a computer program, where the program fails to release memory that is no longer needed.
however many people are quick to describe any unwanted increase in memory usage as a memory leak, even if this is not strictly accurate.

昔から問題になっているのに、何故いつまでたっても直らないんですかね。
