Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 683280

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Jason Ng]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:8.0a2) Gecko/20110826 Firefox/8.0a2
Build ID: 20110826042012

Steps to reproduce:

I have a script that uses creates a bunch of web workers, which simply calculate a random number.  I've tried doing this on a folder of "localhost".


Actual results:

The worker wouldn't even start, it got a "Could not get Domain!" error through the error console and firebug.

However that exact same script worked when put on a remote domain.


Expected results:

It should have been executing the web worker like it does with 6.0

The test is simple:

<script>var w = new Worker("anyname.js");</script>

Looks like it's http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f631e1b0e296
(or something that released on 2011-07-27-03-08-39-mozilla-central)

Fails on ff9 and Mac OS as well.
