User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 Build Identifier: Trying to retrieve a variable in an iframe using iframe.contentWindow.foobar returns "undefined" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the attached URL 2. Follow the steps to reproduce :-) Actual Results: "undefined" is returned Expected Results: If it is a security issue it would be nice to have a more informative error message. But that doesn't seem really logic to me, because we have access to the contentDocument but not the contentWindow... clochix on irc.mozilla.or/jetpack found a workaround by doing iframe.contentDocument.defaultView.wrappedJSObject.foobar
