880098 - Firefox DevTools fail in frames

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130512193848

Steps to reproduce:

1: Inspected an item in an inner iframe of the page (Here's an example page, it doesn't matter whether it's inline or linked stylesheet in the inner frame: http://www.quackit.com/html/templates/frames/frames_example_4.html)
2: Clicked the link to open the css where a rule was defined.


Actual results:

Instead of showing the rule, it only opens the style editor to wherever it was before. I noticed this on both Firefox 21 and 22.


Expected results:

It should be aware of the frame that was selected, and not fail in this case. (It would also be awesome to have a cd(window.frames[0]) like Firebug, or a frame context selector on the console, like Chrome has.)

[Lukas Blakk [:lsblakk] use ?needinfo]

This regression has shipped since FF20 - no urgency to block a release on it, but will look at a low risk uplift nomination when ready.

This bug doesn't belong to the source editor component.
