The problem is that the classinfo for Window has: DOM_CLASSINFO_MAP_ENTRY(nsIDOMEventReceiver) But that's not a scriptable (or indeed IDL!) interface. So in nsDOMConstructor::HasInstance when we call GetInfoForIID() on that interface we of course get nothing back. That causes: ###!!! ASSERTION: nsDOMConstructor::HasInstance can't get interface info.: 'Error', file ../../../../mozilla/dom/src/base/nsDOMClassInfo.cpp, line 4804 followed by a throw. In other words, the only way "window instanceof X" doesn't throw is if X is Window, JSWindow, or WindowInternal. It seems to me like the right way to fix this is to remove the classinfo for nsIDOMEventReceiver... or am I missing something? The other option would be to silently continue on lack of interface info, if we do need that interface in classinfo for window (or other non-idl interfaces in other classinfos). This isn't a recent regression or anything, which frankly amazes me.
Not sure about fixing on 1.8.0 branch, but we should fix on 1.8.1, imo.
