STR: * remote connect to a Firefox OS device * start an app and debug it * open the Web Console * run: var body = document.body * then: body <enter> Expected: * we see a link "[object HTMLBodyElement]" and we can click on it to inspect it * we can enter commands using "body.<property>" Actual: * we get an error: "ReferenceError: body is not defined" Additional notes: * This happens also when retrieving an object using getElementById or querySelector. * All this code works well in non remote pages * All these commands work as expected when we don't try to assign to a var I do this all the time when I try to inspect existing pages.

Julien, are you using firefox 21? did you try with newer versions? Paul, could this be a bug caused by incompatible versions of firefox desktop and the OS? It sounds to me like this is the case here.

Sorry, I've used a Nightly from today, should have mentioned that. (strangely, Bugzilla defaults to Firefox 21 for this field, even if I post the bug in Fx 27)

I was using Gecko 28 on both sides.

I need more information here. Paul can you repro the bug Julien is reporting?

I believe it's a oop issue. I'll look at this.

Julien, can you still reproduce? (I fixed some oop issues last week).

No, it works well now ! Using "$0" still doesn't work though ;)

I forgot the most important: thanks !
