When NoSquint is enabled FireFox is unable to free memory for closed windows. To reproduce:

1. Disable NoSquint in the FireFox Add-ons Manager
2. Restart FireFox
3. Open about:memory
4. Open a new FireFox window (not a tab)
5. In the new window, load http://www.cnn.com
6. Close the new window
7. Hit F5 in the original window
8. See where it says compartment(http://www.cnn.com/)?
9. Continue to hit F5 until this goes away
10. The memory is now freed
11. Enable NoSquint in the FireFox Add-ons Manager
12. Repeat steps 2 through 8
13. The memory will never be freed
