IIRC, Firefox extensions are Javascript+XML... so shouldn't there be a garbage collector for 'memory leaks?' Or are we also including 'run-away memory usage' as 'leaks?'

In garbage collected environments, 'memory leaks' usually mean keeping references to objects even when they're not needed anymore.
