I should probably add that my recollection is that might have only been in "chrome" code in the implementation of Firefox itself, or in extensions written for it, so it's possible that could be changed as far as websites are concerned. It didn't seem worth fighting through the narrow problem at the time for a non-standard method, when doing so might hold up fixing the standard methods which did have semantics requiring throwing for null/undefined this.
