(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sky Sanders]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

When supplying a replacer the value returned is ignored and the member is serialized.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stringify an object with a date property
2. return an arbitrary string from replacer

Actual Results:  
json contains original member value

Expected Results:  
json should contain value returned from replacer

screen shots of tests on all browsers/platforms are here:

sorry, not segregated to FF.

If you see red, it is because the browser has native json and it failed.

So far only FF fails with native JSON.

I can confirm this bug. There is no way to change the value of the property,
but it can be removed from resulting string by returning 'undefined'.

What is the point of having a crippled buggy native JSON implementation?

No one thinks this is an issue?

Note that this will be fixed in FF4. 

FF 3.6:       7 tests of 8 passed, 1 failed.
FF 4 nightly: 8 tests of 8 passed, 0 failed.
