User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0 Build ID: 20120102221218 Steps to reproduce: This code used to work: myselect.options[myselect.options.length] = option; It stopped working lately. I don't know what the standard is, but I would suppose this will break lots of existing code. So this should be very high important bug. The following code work, and can be used as a work around: myselect.options.add(option); Actual results: No error, the select didn't populate any option. Expected results: The options should be added and shown.

This is a attempt to create a testcase based on comment 0, but it works just fine for me, both with a nightly and with a Firefox 10 beta. Reporter, can you please attach an actual testcase that demonstrates your problem?
So it maybe more limited than I thought. This is version 10 specific. Also, it's actually a code from GreaseMonkey script. To test, you install it as a GreaseMonkey script. Line 30 doesn't work. Line 32 works, and can be tested by commented out line 30, and uncomment line 32: [code] // ==UserScript== // @name TestSelect // @description Test Select option FF10 // @include http://*/* // @include https://*/* // ==/UserScript== TestSelect = function(browserWin) { this.initialize = function(evt) { if (evt != null) { evt.preventDefault(); evt.stopPropagation(); } this.addList(); } this.addList = function() { var body = browserWin.document.getElementsByTagName("BODY"); if (body && body.length > 0) { body = body[0]; } else { return; } var selectList = newNode("select", body, browserWin.document); for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { var option = new Option("something" + i, "something" + i, false, false); //code that doesn't do anything: selectList.options[selectList.options.length] = option; //code that works: //selectList.options.add(option); } } this.initialize(null); } newNode = function(tag, on, doc) { var e = doc.createElement(tag); if (on) on.appendChild(e); return e; } try { var isGreaseMonkeyScript = false; try { if (typeof GM_getValue != "undefined") { isGreaseMonkeyScript = true; } } catch (err) { } if (isGreaseMonkeyScript) { window.addEventListener("load", function() { new TestSelect(window); }, true); } if (window.opera) { new TestSelect(window); } var chrome_browser = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('chrome') > -1; if (chrome_browser) { new TestSelect(window); } } catch (e) { } [/code]

Those run in a totally different environment from normal web code! Peter, Bobby, what's happening here is that we land in ListBase<LC>::getOwnPropertyDescriptor via the XrayProxy code from set(). We have an index setter, so we call FillPropertyDescriptor, but that sets up no setter for the prop. Then xpc::XrayProxy::getOwnPropertyDescriptor sets the obj on the descriptor to itself. Then we end up in xpc::XrayProxy::defineProperty (via js::ProxyHandler::set), which just defines the property on the holder. That's broken for indexsetter/namesetter cases, of course. I see all that on trunk too, not just in 10. bobby, I know you were in that code recently; do your patches fix this by any chance? I'm guessing not...

(In reply to Boris Zbarsky (:bz) from comment #4) > bobby, I know you were in that code recently; do your patches fix this by > any chance? I'm guessing not... My code (bug 706301) already landed, so if you're seeing it on trunk too then presumably not.
Ah, yes. OK. So yeah, name/index setters via XrayProxy just seem completely broken...
Tracking for Firefox 10/11 considering the concern that this may break many scripts.
Johnny/Peter - could you find somebody to take a look at this? We want to make sure that all tracked bugs are assigned to the person with next action, or closed. Thanks!

I also noticed that in Weblogic server 11, the Shutdown drop down selection list (in the Admin console->Servers->Control) no longer work in FF10. I don't know if it's the same issue, but it's rather strange that it's happening in normal environment (non-grease monkey/plugins).
vy.huy.ho, that sounds like something that should be filed as a new bug. Would you mind doing that, please, and giving a link to the Weblogic server on which you are experiencing the issue?
it turns out the Weblogic problem is with the web browser version 9.0.1 and it's an unrelated issue.
Peter says he'll look into this.

Any updates?
Spoke with jst about this - our expectation is that we would have had more reports post-FF10 if this was of major concern. In that case, untracking for FF11.
FF 10.0 - 15.0.1 It is shame.
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1510#issuecomment-10840641 Users are still complaining about this bug. Is it ever going to be fixed?
The first problem is figuring out how to fix it while remaining secure... No one has had a chance to look into that yet.

Comment on attachment 701031 [details] [diff] [review] v1 r=me, I guess, but this will make setting expandos on a Document via an Xray pretty dicey, no? In particular, if your expando happens to collide with an <img> or whatnot... Maybe we can just make Document pretend it's not [OverrideBuiltins] when touched via an Xray.

In particular, if your expando happens to collide with an > <img> or whatnot... Yeah, it's going to be pretty complicated. Technically I think it should throw, but I don't think we want content script to be able to control when the Xray throws. I haven't thought about it a lot, but we might be able to deal with this in getOwnPropertyDescriptor.
