(Whiteboard: [MemShrink:P2])

When a test leaks multiple nsDOMWindows, leakcheck reports a large generic list of leaked objects. This means that multiple window leaks can get dumped into the same bug, specifically into bug 1186675. It would be good if leakcheck could recognize that there is a generic window leak, and display some other information, like maybe the URL of the leaked window, instead.

Does the leak analyzer still work?  I at some point made it work with TBPL so that it would tell you which window got leaked.  Not sure what happened to that in the transition to TH.

If this is the same thing I'm thinking of, IIRC it wasn't ported over to TreeHerder, but was already broken anyways in TBPL at the time the transition happened.
Yep, the way I remember it is that nobody ever made it survive the switch to mozharness with the timestamps at the start of lines.
Well then!
