User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.152 Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce:
Created a test page:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
function bar() {
var html = document.documentElement.outerHTML;
var newDoc = document.implementation.createHTMLDocument('');
newDoc.open();
newDoc.write(html);
newDoc.close();
debugger;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main" class="m-scene" onclick="bar();">Foo</div>
</body>
</html>
Actual results:
newDoc.body has no child nodes. Works in other browsers.
Expected results:
newDoc.body should have had child nodes.

The bug also exists with very simple html fragments like: "<div>Foo</div>"

Do you know if this used to work in earlier versions of Firefox?

Seems like this didn't work in at least Firefox 28, so if it did work it's been broken for a long time.

Per spec, for document.open at https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#dom-document-open step 2 is:
If the Document object is not an active document, then abort these steps.
The document in this case is not an active document, so document.open() is a no-op.
Then you do the document.write, which lands at https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#document.write%28%29 and has the same step 2. So document.write is a no-op on this case as well.
