248318 - javascript error with http/https URIs in frames

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246923

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nis Martensen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040622 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040622 Firefox/0.8.0+

Firfox 0.9 gives

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Access to property denied"  code:
"1010" nsresult: "0x805303f2 (NS_ERROR_DOM_PROP_ACCESS_DENIED)"  location:
"https://www.eev.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de/moztest/unten.html Line: 16"]

when clicking on the links in the bottom frame; firefox 0.8 works.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open JavaScript Console
2. Go to http://www.eev.e-technik.tu-darmstadt.de/~nmartensen/
3. Click on the links in the bottom frame

Actual Results:  
content of top frame does not change, javascript error instead

Expected Results:  
change content of top frame

This is a problem in our internal pages. I created the above frameset as minimal
example.

The error only occurs when content pages of both frames are on https URI while
the URI of the frameset definition is not. When I move the content of the bottom
frame to non-https location, things work again (https pages will be shown in top
frame).

Setting docshell.frameloadcheck.disabled to true as mentioned in the release
notes works around this problem.

This page doesn't use nested frames, so I wonder why the patch from bug 246448
broke it.  Does the patch in bug 246923 fix it?

Yup, it does.
