Hi,

We are experiencing the exact same issues as discussed in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-jetpack/browse_thread/thread/d1d3548145d527f3

I.e. we cannot easily port a Chrome/Safari extension to Firefox because jQuery does not work. Getting the jQuery tests mentioned in (http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-jetpack/browse_thread/thread/d1d3548145d527f3) to work with page mod in JetPack/Firefox would be great..

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Updated test case from google group one

I've updated the test case that Cid gave in the Group.

So it appears to be mainly a problem with XRayWrappers that are automatically built on top of any content node. So jquery unit test reports a lot of failure around nodes or objects that are not equals.

Some of these errors will be fixed when we are going to remove system principal from content script sandbox. (I check with window object as principal and many tests stop failing)
-> bug 636147

But then it doesn't fix all tests and I didn't manage to find what cause these failures.

Currently content script can pollute document scope (bug 601295), it may be a source of error as jQuery.noConflict use to built dual jQuery instances are failing.

I have created a jetpack package that may be used to run all jQuery tests from the official jQuery repo: https://github.com/Gozala/jetpack-test4jquery

I'm planning to use this package to verify work both on this bug and 636147.
