nsAppRunner is compiled into libxul.so. If it leaves static strings in the environment then that can cause shutdown crashes after libxul.so is unloaded - bug 555894 and bug 473629.

My best guess here is that something is or was changing the environment, in a way that changed whether lsan thought the strings were still in use. The fix may be just to add suppressions for these leaks, but it would be helpful to know why lsan thinks these are no longer in the environment.
