On b2g?
Flags: needinfo?(ehsan)
Currently window.open just throws NS_ERROR_FAILURE. I spent some time trying to figure out why that is. I narrowed it down to the fact that we seem to be going down the regular window opening code path, which causes us to look at "browser.chromeURL", which is "chrome://b2g/content/" and then we try to open a new window with that URL (which resolves to "chrome://b2g/content/b2g.xul"). But b2g.xul doesn't exist, of course, so that URL won't resolve to anything. So we get to here, and spin the event loop: <http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpfe/appshell/src/nsXULWindow.cpp#1796> and after that we bail out because |xulWin->mPrimaryContentShell| is null.
Summary: window.open doesn → window.open doesn't work on b2g desktop
