900103 - Console injected objects don't inherit from window objects

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Nicolas FROIDURE]

Attachment: index.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.63 Safari/537.31

Steps to reproduce:

We used a project named Jasper to create a small contest but it appeared to be impossible for Firefox users to play with it.

The user had to create a String object, pass it to a function declared in the window scope who test if the object was inheriting from String (obj instanceof String).


Actual results:

The function in the window scope does not recognize that the object has been build with the String constructor.


Expected results:

The function should recognize the object a a string.

I suggest you to give a quick look to the attached file to better understand.
