305428 - Due to splitwindow, window.location != window.document.location

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

At the moment, it's possible for us to have a docshell with no document loaded
in it (due to our frame recursion protection or due to the document not having
had time to load yet).  When this happens, for the docshell that doesn't have a
document loaded in it window.location will throw on being set (because there is
no inner window).  If window.document.location is set instead, things work,
since we synthesize an about:blank document.

So I guess what it comes down to is that we may need to synthesize inner windows
(with an about:blank document) as needed...
