825961 - see if we can remove the need for wrappedJSObject

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1123506

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect, P1)

Description

[Malini Das [:mdas] - Away, not checking bugmail]

Having to use wrappedJSObject interferes with WebDriver parity, since it's Gecko specific and we should just have access to the window object.

Also, as more people start to use marionette, I figure this'll be a painpoint for them to remember, too.

Perhaps we can use XPCNativeWrapper.unwrap(window) or the like.

This is considered to be safe compared to wrappedJSObject(). I have mentioned that already in another bug but most likely never filed it.

Oh, see bug 811949 comment 3.

[David Burns :automatedtester]

WebDriver uses the older ways due to having to support so many older versions of Firefox. As long as the effect of using the API is the same we should be using more firefox idiomatic approaches.
