I've made a page like this:
<script>
window.onload = function(){test(doc)}
function doc(){ 
alert('test');
doc(); // here you get an error, the function 'test' doesn't exist
}
</script>

but if I don't use a onload event, it works al fine (infinite loop)
<script>
function doc(){ 
alert('test');
doc(); // no error
}
test(doc);
</script>

There is a small workaround, just put on the end of your html
<script>test()</script>, but it works before everything is loaded.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
error in Javascript Console

Expected Results:  
infinite loop

This is my first bug and I don't know if the bug need to be here or in
Javascript Console bugs.
I've also searched after the bug and didn't found similary to this.
I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here. Where is there a
function 'test'? AFAIK, test is a builtin method, but only for RegExp. Please
attach a testcase to this bug that shows the problem.

I've add this as testcase, normally when you click the 'onclick method
(onclick="addition()")' you need to see 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10,
but it shows only 0 and gives an error

Sorry I've made a couple of errors:
the script is:
<script>
function doc(){ 
  alert('test');
  doc(); // here you get an error, the function 'doc' doesn't exist
}
</script>
<body onload='doc()'>

I see the desired output (1 through 10).

Can you try your testcase in a current nightly build?
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

I recommend using a clean profile when you test with a recent trunk build.

yes it works good in Deer Park,
but I have another problem, how can I make a clean profile?
because something wrong with the tabs now
To create a clean profile...

If firefox is in your system path, then just run firefox.exe -ProfileManager

If it's not, then use "path to firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager
