Line 490 in CssRuleView.jsm uses (I think) a nsIDOMCSSStyleDeclaration as a key in the weak map |disabled| [1]. Unfortunately, this is not okay because the only C++ things we support as weak map keys are nodes (for technical reasons, we only can only support objects that support wrapper preservation, and just allowing nodes was a simple way to do that). The current behavior is that the key will be successfully added (with a warning), but it can eventually get its entry in the weak map thrown out during a later GC. In bug 761620, I am planning to make it so that unsupported keys are not added, and an exception is thrown, so it is more obvious that something has gone wrong. To fix this, you either have to switch to using some other kind of key, which could be tricky. If you can get back and forth between the style and its node maybe that would work. Otherwise, you may need to switch to another data structure, like a map, though then you have to be more careful to avoid leaks. In the longer term, in bug 753517, CSS things are going to be converted over to the new DOM bindings, which I believe means they will be wrapper cached, and thus we can loosen the restriction on weak map keys to include these CSS things. But you probably want to fix this before that. CCing Boris who understands what is going on with wrapper preservation of CSS stuff.

I guess these failing test are in the Style Inspector and Highlighter directories, not the Style Editor.

We can do something different here without too much trouble.

Until bug 753517 happens, css declarations do have a wrapper cache, but don't do wrapper preservation.

Switching to a Map would mean retaining the DOMCSSStyleDeclaration of any declaration edited by the rule view until the inspector is closed or the page is reloaded. If I'm reading this right (and I'm probably not), holding a DOMCSSStyleDeclaration won't actually retain any style data. Is that accurate? If so, the impact of using a Map instead of a WeakMap will be pretty small. If bug 753517 is going to let us use WeakMap support and is coming soonish, I'm inclined to just use a Map for now. Anybody disagree?

> Is that accurate? It depends on what you mean by "style data". If you're holding onto a DOMCSSDeclarationImpl, then it'll keep alive the DOMCSSStyleRule. It won't keep alive the underlying css::StyleRule. So I think you'll just be out sizeof(DOMCSSStyleRule) but nothing else... If bug 753517 doesn't land this cycle, then I really screwed up somewhere.
