Regarding #2: Yeah, that would be really great. Could also lead to less memory consumed

I am hard working to fix all Firebug memory leaks (and did fix some of them recently). What I really need is a simple scenario showing that Firebug leaks. That helps me a lot!
Any input is appreciated, please post here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/firebug

How am I to tell whether leaks are from Firefox or Firebug? What I know is that after a full day developing Firefox will use 800MB of RAM, and the only way to get rid of that is to close the entire process. I use Firebug heavily and I know that _something_ is leaking somewhere.

That's nice to hear! I'll take a look on how to help.
As mkopinsky points out it's sometimes hard to tell what really leaks memory. I can tell the same thing as he, but I think it has been improved a lot lately. Sometimes I had after some time working around 1.5GB Memory usage, but this is better now.
