I repeated this test with Firebug 1.6a1. I saw no memory increase at all 
on FF 3.6b6pre/Win XP.

I reloaded multiple times, the memory was 87M, 87M, 87M, 90M, 90M, 89M.

Note this was a clean profile with only Firebug and FBTest. Specifically 
this was not with Chromebug, which is not able to track windows properly 
so it cannot be used for memory tests.
