In JavaScript, typeof on an HTMLObjectElement object returns "function", which is incorrect. This happens in both Firefox for Linux and Firefox for Windows. Here's a simple HTML page that demonstrates the error:
===========================================
<html>
<body>
<script>
var n= document.createElement('object') ;
alert('n=['+n+']\ntypeof n=['+(typeof n)+']') ;
</script>
</body>
</html>
===========================================
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create and load the (short) sample HTML page above, in the "Details" section.
2. Notice that the alert() shows that "typeof n" evaluates to "function" instead of "object".
Actual Results:
typeof n=="function"
Expected Results:
typeof n=="object"
