Blob constructor was proposed as a replacement of BlobBuilder.
Yeah. I think for now we should just add a warning whenever BlobBuilder is used. Eventually we should be able to remove it.

I saw this deprecation warning so I tried to use the Blob constructor, but I get this error:

  new Blob([new ArrayBuffer(10)])

  [10:37:43.420] [Exception... "An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable"  code: "11" nsresult: "0x8053000b (InvalidStateError)"  location: "Web Console Line: 1"]

Should I file a bug, or is the Blob constructor not ready for use yet?
Please file a bug and block this bug and CC me.

RE dev-doc-needed:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Document_Object_Model_%28DOM%29/BlobBuilder still says "As MozBlobBuilder" for Firefox

I imagine we need to add a line there with "14.0 (14.0) As BlobBuilder" or something?
No, MozBlobBuilder is not (and will never be) unprefixed. Instead it will be removed.

why did you remove that ?
Because Blob constructor doesn't support getFile() equivalent function.

> Because Blob constructor doesn't support getFile() equivalent function.

The automatic test is now almost useless (w/o that check)

I see that getFile() in file.js now returns only blobs, so files (nsIDOMFile) are not tested at all, I mean they are not tested in entire test suite.

There must be a way to create a File, no ?
