That would appear to be more a MultiZilla bug than a Mozilla bug: with a fresh
1.7.7 install, view selection source works fine; install MultiZilla 1.7.0.2d and
it fails with 

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Illegal operation on WrappedNative
prototype object"  nsresult: "0x8057000c (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_OP_ON_WN_PROTO)" 
location: "JS frame ::
chrome://multiviews/content/multizillaContextMenuOverlay.xul :: anonymous ::
line 97"  data: no]

(In reply to comment #1)
Well, I used the same Multizilla version with Mozilla 1.7.6 (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319
MultiZilla/1.7.0.2b), and it worked fine.

Does Multizilla make some assumptions about Mozilla which are not true anymore
with version 1.7.7? Where to put this bug?

look at the multizilla mozdev page perhaps.

Well /I/ don't know whether Mozilla (accidentally) changed a documented API, or
Multizilla relies on something it shouldn't.

However, I created a Multizilla issue:

Verified.  What changed in 1.7.7 is that some some forms of DOM access which
lead to major security issues have been disallowed.  Apparently Multizilla was
using one of those....
