accessing to IFRAME content fails when the IFRAME has the attribute STYLE set to
  style="display:none"
In the JavaScript Console appears the error message
"window.frames.iview has no properties" where 'iview' is the IFRAME name

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
try to click the link in the testcase

Actual Results:  the mentioned error appears in the JavaScript Console

Expected Results:  window title should be set as the iframe name, as it 
correctly happen when the visibility style is omitted

here is the testcase code

<html>
<head>
<title>IFrame Bug</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function testIt()
{
  //alert(window.frames.iview.name);
  document.title = window.frames.iview.name;
}
</script>

</head>

 <a href="javascript:testIt();">test</a> <br/><br/>

<body>

<iframe id="iview" name="iview" style="display:none"></iframe>

</body>
</html>


by the I do not use an alert because it sometime locks up Moz.
The cause I think should be the same of bug 59243
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59243

Please note that this all happens with the latest build I just downloaded
