You have set some of the privacy preferences which prevent web sites
from doing things you do not like. That particular preference prevents a
script from setting the window.status which jsUnit uses at least in the
preTest completion polling.
If this is a problem we could potentially remove attempting to set the
status bar text. However note that Mozilla will also allow you to set
other preferences which would likely cause the jsUnit or other tests to
fail. In particular, the preference for blocking opening windows by
onload handlers might cause problems. I believe the best approach is
just to make sure that Mozilla users know how these preferences might
affect their ability to run the tests.
