I have found that kicking off my script by the "onload" event creates a 
much bigger memory leak that just calling it.

Fortunately, my script can run ever before the event fires, so I removed 
that call, and the memory leaks got smaller.

My script is used on a page that refreshed every 2 minutes. Over night I 
have found that FF is using in excess of 500MB and stopping FF actually 
frees 800MB of memory.
