For the use case mentioned by Boris in this thread, where a FF

The add-on easily can outlive the content window or iframe containing the
wrapped object, you're right. But it can go the other way too: add-on disabling
or add-on specific reset clears the add-on state, including weak maps, while
the content DOM wrapped objects live blithely on.
Indeed. Once you stop debugging, Firebug may well want to throw away
all the state it needed to debug.
