After around 30min of having FF open when I close a tab a message pops up:

Javascript application Unable to clean current element: TypeError: can't access dead object OK

It randomly stops showing the message for periods of about 30 min.

hello MichaelStevens, this is very likely caused by one of your addons (maybe one which is performing a certain action every 30mins).
