Can we make nsINode::WrapObject final now?
No (see for example Element::WrapObject).

Backed out because this depended on bug 932309, which needed to be backed out. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/2f97de1c0727
Apparently a timeout of 4 still isn't enough. Upped it to 6. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/66fe02c5c163 Am I understanding correctly that this test will get perpetually slower as we continue to add more properties? That smacks of very poor test design. I think the next time I see this test fail, I'm just going to disable it. This is already becoming a joke.

I think this regressed Bug 916851 rather badly. Verifying.

Populating the variables view shouldn't take so much with all of those window properties. Afaik, we had some work done for improving the performance of vview. If the test fails again, please feel free to disable the test and file a bug - please CC me and vporof.

Is there more to document than the trap described in bug 943958 ? If this breaks an add-on, doesn't it have high chance to also break the web? :-(
Well, any sites that rely on this may already be broken in Chrome. I made a similar change before, and the only evidence of breakage I saw was a single site for a local club, and the page was broken in Chrome, which already had our behavior for that particular property.

Oh yeah I had forgotten that it's already Chrome's behavior, my bad. Thanks!

Sort of. Chrome puts idl attributes on the window but methods on the prototype. We now put both on the window. The good news is that methods are just value props, so doing: var setTimeout = 5; works fine and sets it to 5. It's probably not optimized as well as a var with some other name, though. So you have to go out of your way to be broken by methods moving off the proto. For example, you have to be setting Window.prototype.setTimeout to to a function of your own or some such. See also bug 943065.

Chrome (or WebKit/Blink) just keeps pre-ES5 (or old IE) behavior (methods are on prototype, attributes are defined as own properties). It is not specific to the window object. I don't understand why the spec try to continue inventing new behaviors, breaking the compatibility, and diverging implementations rather than converging them.
> I don't understand why the spec try to continue inventing new behaviors In this case, see bug 943065 comment 6 for an example that necessitated the new behavior...
I'll also note that the spec explicitly documents why [Global] is specified the way it is: http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#Global

Note that this broke IBM Rational Change (which was apparently also broken in Chrome/Safari). See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2802773
