Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

test 1: In the console, I entered: {"a": 1}.
test 2: In the console. I entered {a: 1}.

Actual results:

test 1: My statement returned SyntaxError: unexpected token: ':'.
test 2: My statement returned 1.

This means the javascript interpreter thought I was entering a block statement in both cases.

Expected results:

I should have received an Object instance, {a: 1}.

Hello Kalt, thanks for reporting this issue.
it looks a lot like Bug 972530, so I'm going to close it as duplicate.
