I just ran some circular memory leak tests in IE6, O9, S3, FF2 and it
seems to me they all benefit from doing the same kind of circular
memory leak cleanup that IE requires.
My tests were very similar to Richard Cornford's which are very easy
to set up and watch run.

On my machine, O, S, and FF all level off at around 38MB of RAM while
the pages load and unload. If I am using the cleanup. If I don't use
cleanup they seem to level off at about 180MB.
I've always been using the onunload cleanup for all browsers and was
considering stopping doing that for all but Internet Explorerer. I
won't be stopping on any browser. It seems all the garbage collectors
can use the help.
