ownerDocument works on the new and older versions of Firefox and
Mozilla I have on my system.
Try the following:
<html>
<p id="foo">Test</p>
<script>
var foo = document.getElementById("foo")
var par = foo.parentNode
alert(foo.ownerDocument)
par.removeChild(foo)
alert(foo.ownerDocument)
</script>
</html>
It also works on Safari. You may have confused this with something
else. I remember discussions going way back on this. I think there
could have been a very old version that might have errorred out if
the node was removed, but I doubt that code was in a Firefox release.
Firefox may not be throwing the exception in cases of where the
documents may be compatible (I have not checked), but this doesn't
mean that they shouldn't, when claiming to be standards-compliant.
It is a smaller violation but still a significant one to the
consensus, which was formed with good reason.
