210106 - GeckoActiveXObject doesn't convert to string in browser

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

[David Bradley]

If you do something like javascript:alert(GeckoActiveXObject); you get an
exception complaining that it can't be converted to a string.

print(GeckoActiveXObject); works in XPCShell, though. So I suspect it's some
kind of DOM issue.

GeckoActiveXObject is defined via JS_DefineFunction, but I suspect I need to
some additional work.

In Firefox 1.5 this shows 
  function GeckoActiveXObject() { [native code] }
so this must have been fixed somewhere. I'm not sure if this means that DOM recogizes it everywhere in all Gecko browsers or just in Firefox.

Bug 317487 asks to remove this, since Firefox at least doesn't actually include the activeX support.

Was this fixed by bug 308856?
