Thanks for fixing a 4 year old memory leak!

[Seb]

I want to thank everyone involved with Bug 478823 -
navigator.plugins.refresh() leaks memory... (https://
bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478823)
It's taken nearly 4 years (see the duplicate bugs), caused me hundreds
of crashes over that time thanks to Microsoft exploiting it, caused
other people loads of crashes judging by the reports (I didn't comment
on any of them), but is apparently fixed in Firefox 3.6.14. (https://
bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL%20status1.9.2:.14-
fixed)

So thank you for fixing it! But next time, can we see if we can fix
these a little faster? ;) I dare say it put a lot of people off
Firefox. It affects all versions of Firefox from 2007-trunk (which
became 3.0 I think) to 3.6.13. And because it is a memory leak type
crash, many of the crashes were not caught by your Crash Reporter tool
so I could not submit them. (I think that part has been working OK
recently but was an issue before.) And because it is such an old bug,
and you guys tend to try and fix newish regressions, I guess it didn't
get looked at for a long time by any coders. Although it was first
reported when it was in trunk, so it should have been fixed before 3.0
was released!

Kind regards,

Seb
