[FIXED] bookmarklets cannot add event listeners (Fx 27)

[Giorgio Maone]

Please check latest development build 2.6.8.15rc5, which should address most if not all these issues (by ugly yet spectacular hacks).

Looks promising when I paste a bookmarklet into the address bar, but it has disabled all my saved bookmarklets which cause an assortment of syntax errors. I guess this may be a failure to decode '%20' - about the only escaping Firefox does when saving ASCII javascript URLs as bookmarks.

That restricts the testing I'm able to do, but in the meantime I'm going to PM you a bookmarklet that hopefully provides a one-click test for all the tricky cases we've discovered so far.

Most if not all the issues reported so far (also in PMs) should have been fixed by now.
Please confirm for latest development build 2.6.8.17rc1, thank you!

Thank you for your hard work, Giorgio. Event listeners (and XHRs) have indeed been restored in FF 27 and all but one of the side-effects worked around.

There just remains the question of window.open().document.write(), which now only works in a bookmarklet if you enable scripting for the host domain. In other cases, it fails silently.

Fortunately, there is a viable alternative in data URIs (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1196 ... hing-to-it), so it's no show-stopper, but there may be bookmarklets still in use that rely on the original technique.

As far as I'm concerned though, this issue is resolved. Thanks again.
