Works on 3.6.23 -> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.23) Gecko/20110920 Firefox/3.6.23 ID:20110920075126

Fails on nightly -> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111024 Firefox/10.0a1 ID:20111024031040

If someone wants, I can do a regression-range.

This worksforme in a Mac Aurora build.  Is this Windows-only?

I don't see any issues in either Windows or macOS.

(I guess that this was fixed in bug 253870, it introduced new multiple nsFrameSelection instances management.)
