Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 616397

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Greg Parris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/4.0b8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/4.0b8pre ID:20101203030309

Noticed this when a person reported a broken user script with Scriptish.

If an Option is created in a sandbox via "new Option", NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY is thrown.

This does not happen when an option is created in the sandbox using "createElement", or if the JS is actually in the page (i.e. <script>).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Grab Anthony Lieuallen's minimal add-on from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612025
2. Modify content/browser.js to evaluate "var myOpt = new Option('opt1');" in the sandbox
3. Install the add-on
4. Load http://www.google.com
5. Observe NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY is thrown
Actual Results:  
Add-on fails with:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Out of Memory"  nsresult: "0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://greasemonkey/content/browser.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 17"  data: no]

Expected Results:  
New <option> element is created.
