Executing

    foo="bar";

in the WebConsole puts the "foo" object not on the window object of the current page but on the sandbox object used to execute the string.

i'm pretty sure this is a dupe of bug 572953

I'm okay with us keeping this bug open for now.

This bug is annoying and may throw some people off, but it's not actually a blocker because you can still explicitly put things into window scope:

window.foo = "bar";

It's interesting that you can look up names in window scope without typing "window." but to set them in window scope you need to actually say "window."

This is a sandbox issue that we may have little control over. CCing mrbkap for guidance
