There is an apparently memory leak when viewing Best Buy's website (http://www.bestbuy.com/) in Firefox. When I load this website and then leave Firefox alone, memory usage grows indefinitely. This occurs in version 3.0.5 (both Windows and Linux versions) as well as in the latest nightly Windows build. This appears to be JavaScript related, as the memory usage does not appear to grow if I disable JavaScript and load bestbuy.com.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access http://www.bestbuy.com/
2. Watch memory usage grow.
3.
Actual Results:
Memory usage grows indefinitely.

Expected Results:
Memory usage is stable.
