The problem is in the way that Mozilla builds JEMalloc for FF on Windows. They build a replacement for the Microsoft C RunTime Library. This replacement is a hybrid, built in part from JEMalloc source code, and in part from Microsoft's source code for MSVCRT, which source code is ONLY available with the professional edition of the MSVC compiler.
You know Nelson, I spent a little time investigating this, and whilst it would be some work to create a fully open source alternative, it would not be *that* much work. A good starting point is the reimplementation of MSVCRT in Wine (but there might be also some low level .obj to rewrite in addition *and* Wine does not have the latest version of MSVCRT).
So the best solution would be for one of those people that this situation really annoys to just do it instead of complaining.
