1015700 - Permission denied to call method Location.toString

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[alexforever86]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

When I tried to embed a Facebook video in iframe, this error occurred in Firefox.
The error occur when I included the following HTML code in my page.
<iframe width="720" height="1280" frameborder="0" src="https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=627802933963417">


Actual results:

Console error with message 'Permission denied to call method Location.toString' occurred for each iframe with embedded Facebook video. There is no problem with playing video at all. The new Firefox version get freezed for few seconds some time. I suspect whether this is the reason. The issue is only for firefox and produced no such error in Chrome.


Expected results:

The underlying reason for producing the console error should be fixed and there should't be any error displayed in browser console.

http://jsfiddle.net/983mz/ does not produce such an exception for me.  Does it produce it for you?

If not, can you please provide a link to a web page that _does_ produce the exception for you?

Error: Permission denied to access property 'toString'
	

var name = window.opener;

	
This is the error I get on Citbank India website on logging into Internet banking portal.

That would make sense if window.opener is a cross-origin window, yes.  The window.name setter converts its argument to a string, but you're not allowed to convert a cross-origin object to a string.

That has nothing to do with this bug as filed, which is about a totally different exception message.

I will close this bug due to lack of response by the reporter.
