Getting dialog elements stacked in Firebug HTML tab on destroy... why?

Building some custom widgets on top of jQuery UI, now when I try to destroy jQuery UI Dialog on top on which I have my widget, I see in FireBug that corresponding elements get stacked on top of html element.

I've attached a screenshot.

Is it how it is meant to be? Why?

I noticed similar behavior in the past with jQuery effects. Could not find a reason to it though, so I thought it was just my fault, of some kind.

The dialog is appended to the end of the body when it's opened and removed from the dom when it's destroyed. There's no reason it should ever be outside or before the html element. Ensure your html is valid as a first step, then share a sample page, as otherwise we'll have a hard time seeing what the problem may be.

Here: http://client.infinity-8.me/dialog/ I've put the simplest example I could. When I click open and then destroy, I observe that phenomena I've screenshoted above. I'm not sure what does cause it. Maybe it's just some FireBug illusion. But it looks nasty, isn't it?

I wasn't able to reproduce using Firebug 1.5.2 Firefox 3.6 on Windows.

Weird... what that could be then?

I got FF 3.6 and I just upgraded to FB 1.5.2.

Step 1: disable all Firefox plugins other than Firebug and restart

Same thing... :(

Actually what I need to know, whether there can be any kind of leak that may build up as the time goes and at some point harm my RIA?

I should conclude then that my FireBug probably sees ghosts of dead elements...

With it's third eye or something :)

I receive html using ajax, i load the html into a variable and save it for later reuse

window.view = $(receivedHtml);

I then show it as a dialog

$(receivedHtml).dialog();

It goes into the DOM as shown bellow

Once i finish with that dialog i destroy it using the html variable

$(window.view).dialog("destroy");

It's being removed from the DOM but it stays in firebug/firefox outside of the html document, as shown bellow (You can see multiple dialogs there, every time i receive new html and destroy it it will go on top):
