Users on the support forum have come across a new "bug" that when using Firefox 31 they were unable to reply/forward/send e-mails and were given a null 404 error when trying to do so. Is this a Firefox issue or is it strictly on Verizon's side? It would be nice to take the blame off of Firefox.

Sending a new email is OK. Problem does not exist on FireFox V30, but does on V31 with webmail.verizon.net. Error does not happen using Internet Explorer.

Hi guys, Adding comments such as "I have this same issue/Hurry up Mozilla" is generally not helpful and sends additional unnecessary e-mails to everyone CC'd and watching the support.mozilla.org component. Instead of adding "Me too's/Hurry up", please "vote" for this bug to be fixed. Here's some more information about the Bugzilla Etiquette and info on Voting Bugzilla Etiquette: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html Voting: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=voting.html
Just to try and help further the troubleshooting, my Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro (both 64 bit) and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS all exhibit this error with V31.
Firefox Site Compatibility team here. This is the biggest site compat issue so far. https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/?q=verizon&product=Firefox&version=31.0 https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/?q=status%3A404&product=Firefox&version=31.0 https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/dashboard/response/4535575 has a stack trace in Dojo. Anyone help figure out the details?

Bisect says: The first bad revision is: changeset: 180282:b588b9285415 user: Jason Orendorff <jorendorff@mozilla.com> date: Fri Apr 25 15:07:18 2014 -0500 summary: Bug 987007, part 2 - Handle assignment to named and indexed setters without using JSRESOLVE_ASSIGNING. r=bz, r=bholley.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Many Verizon customers are complaining about the issue. No workaround available.
Severity: normal → major
Component: General → DOM
Flags: needinfo?(jorendorff)
This is specifically due to this change in HTMLFormElement's getOwnPropertyDescriptor: - if (!IsArrayIndex(index) && !(flags & JSRESOLVE_ASSIGNING) && (!isXray || !HasPropertyOnPrototype(cx, proxy, id))) { + if (!IsArrayIndex(index) && (!isXray || !HasPropertyOnPrototype(cx, proxy, id))) { The particular id we get into trouble with is "action". Since HTMLFormElement has no indexed or named setter, we aren't outputting a "set" method, so we do a genetic BaseProxyHandler::set, which goes via getOwnPropertyDescriptor. JSRESOLVE_ASSIGNING is set, since this is a set. Before the fix for bug 987007 we would allow the set to take place, even if the form had a named prop for the "action" id. After that fix, we don't allow the set to take place, since the named prop shadows the setter on the prototype (doing a named lookup on the form for "action" returns an <input type="hidden">; I assume it has name="action" set). Then later the site does: var _2b8=form.getAttributeNode("action") (presumably because doing .action was being shadowed by the input!) and gets null where it used to get an Attr object. The new behavior is what the Web IDL spec says to do. Still looking into what other UAs do here.
On that testcase, Firefox 30, Chrome, Safari, and IE 11 output: [object HTMLInputElement] null [object HTMLInputElement] http://www.mozilla.org Firefox 31 outputs: [object HTMLInputElement] null [object HTMLInputElement] null Sounds like we need to figure out how to spec (and implement) the old insane behavior...
(In reply to Boris Zbarsky [:bz] from comment #15) > Firefox 31 outputs: > > [object HTMLInputElement] > null > [object HTMLInputElement] > null > > Sounds like we need to figure out how to spec (and implement) the old insane > behavior... Are you thinking for just HTMLFormElement's named properties, or named properties in general?
On that last testcase, the output is as follows: IE11 and Chrome: [object HTMLInputElement] [object HTMLInputElement] http://www.mozilla.org Firefox 30 and 31 and trunk: [object HTMLInputElement] [object HTMLInputElement] undefined Safari and Firefox from when we used a resolve hook: [object HTMLInputElement] [object HTMLInputElement] [object HTMLInputElement] The resolve hook (and Safari) behavior clearly violates the HTML spec. For the other, the IE/Chrome behavior seems to be basically that the proxy has a set hook which ignores the named prop stuff and just does the set normally. But then a later get will possibly shadow whatever got set by the set via the named getter. In other words, the IE/Chrome behavior cannot be represented solely via [[GetOwnProperty]]. It requires an explicit [[Set]] override. That seems to me to be the simplest way forward here, actually. Cameron, Jason, thoughts?
Flags: needinfo?(cam)
> Are you thinking for just HTMLFormElement's named properties, or named properties in > general? I suspect we want this for [OverrideBuiltins] named properties. For the non-[OverrideBuiltins] ones there is no issue wrt DOM setters: the property can't shadow the proto chain anyway. Though the shadowing own value prop behavior attachment 8463221 [details] shows wouldn't happen for non-[OverrideBuiltins] props... It's just the simplest behavior to implement if you override [[Set]], I expect.
So the [[Set]] behaviour would basically be the same as the standard [[Set]] defined in https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-ordinary-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots-set-p-v-receiver but using OrdinaryGetOwnProperty rather than Web IDL's [[GetOwnProperty]], so that we ignore named properties. This means that Object.defineProperty(formElement, ...) would get ignored as it uses [[GetOwnProperty]] too. Should we instead just make [[DefineOwnProperty]] do what we want by allowing it to define real properties on the object (forcing them to be non-configurable), regardless of whether there's a matching named property?
Flags: needinfo?(cam)
Attachment #8463238 - Attachment description: test.html → Testcase for Object.defineProperty
Looks like Object.defineProperty actually defines stuff in both IE and Chrome. To support that, I agree that we'd need to hook [[DefineOwnProperty]]. That said, just hooking [[DefineOwnProperty]] but not [[Set]] wouldn't make setting work, right? I mean, if [[GetOwnProperty]] returns a non-writable value descriptor (which is the case here), then the default [[Set]] never calls [[DefineOwnProperty]]...

I mean, if [[GetOwnProperty]] returns a non-writable > value descriptor (which is the case here), then the default [[Set]] never > calls [[DefineOwnProperty]]... Yes, I meant to mention that. We don't strictly need to have the returned record be [[Writable]]:true, as long as it is [[Configurable]]:true, according to the invariants in https://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-invariants-of-the-essential-internal-methods.
Scratch that, [[Set]] of course does bypass all of that if notices a non-writable property.
Attachment #8463416 - Attachment is obsolete: true
So it looks like Safari disallows Object.defineOwnProperty when the name is a named prop, so I don't think we need that part for compat. So really, we just need to hack the [[Set]] somehow.
Just for completeness' sake.
Boris and I hashed this out on IRC. I'm going to implement a JSAPI entry point that basically just does all the steps in [1] from step 3 onward. That way a proxy handler with a custom getOwnPropertyDescriptor() method can easily implement its own set() method that ensures the custom getOwnPropertyDescriptor() method is *not* called in step 2. Leaving ni?me to remind me to do that work (tomorrow). [1]: http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-ordinary-object-internal-methods-and-internal-slots-set-p-v-receiver
(In reply to Boris Zbarsky [:bz] from comment #31) > So it looks like Safari disallows Object.defineOwnProperty when the name is > a named prop, so I don't think we need that part for compat. Whew. That would have been a major pain to sort out with Xrays.
> Whew. That would have been a major pain to sort out with Xrays. Yeah, but check out the attached testcases for the insanity that ensues when it's NOT a named prop at the time of the defineProperty call. Even without Xrays.

That seems strange... Many moons ago (if pressed, I could dig up the rev again), this used to fall through, but we "fixed" it so that we didn't lose the PropertyOps from the prototype (good). The patch that did it seems to my eye to just be wrong, and it's been wrong ever since.

That seems strange... Yes. This is bug 762751. BaseProxyHandler::set is generally crazy. Ideally it would just do what 9.1.9 does, though who knows what would break if we actually made that change...

I should have realized from the symptoms that this would need to be uplifted agressively, in which case I agree random non-scoped changes are a bad idea. Thanks for filing the follow-up. Hopefully we can get that cleaned up soon.
Try didn't like the naming of the protected method because it shadowed the public getOwnPropertyDescriptor, so I renamed the new thing to getOwnPropDescriptor with a comment explaining why the name is different. https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=f16231f2118f
And actually compiling: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=e58471dcc16c Jason, let me know once there's a pushable part 1 here?

Attached patch Part 2, updated to build and all (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Attachment #8464929 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Try run says there's a test failure in the xpcshell js/xpconnect/tests/unit/test_writeToGlobalPrototype.js test because the assertion Jason put in BaseProxyHandler::set fails. We seem to be dealing with an xpc::SandboxProxyHandler. desc.object() and proxy have the same JSClass ("Proxy"), but are not the same object. Both are proxies. The handler of proxy is clearly xpc::SandboxProxyHandler. The handler of desc.object() is js::CrossCompartmentWrapper (around a BackstagePass, in case that makes a difference). In any case, sounds like that assert is not ok.
Blocks: 1047122
FYI, I have created a Web Compatibility bug to see if we can contact Verizon and get a fix on their side. Bug 1047122 It doesn't we will succeed but it's worth trying.
Latest two support replies in this thread suggest Verizon might already have changed something: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1006704?page=3#answer-610547
It appears that as of 8:45 EST 31 July 2014 that this bug has been fixed. I am now able to reply to messages, forward messages, and save a reply to draft. These are all the past failures that caused me to enter the trouble report. Whoever was responsible for the fix, A GIANT THANK YOU!!!! I really disliked using Internet Explorer. Firefox is a 10 times better platform!! I hope all the other Verizon users on FireFox get the word quickly.
Part 1, v2. Added another boolean to fix the assertions.

Do you need any help from the QA team to manually verify this fix? From what I see it does already have automatic test coverage, and the original issue was already verified by Verizon, so the original issue probably cannot be reproduced (unless there are some other mail clients still affected).
