1. Don't create objects in global scope of prefs.js (21, 22, 27, 29, 30 prefs.js). They cannot get garbage collected after prefs window close. 2. Soup version already specified in shell, so you shouldn't try to change it (line 10 extension.js). The best way to do it is to create a helper function that can do both soup 3 and 2. Currently you are doing that in multiple lines (for example 495, 532, 740 and 762). 3. Only use "43". No need to use "43.rc" and "43.beta".
