Should this be a 2.0 concern? This seems like a tooling issue. Is there a Firefox bugzilla issue to track?
I'd hate to see "use strict" avoided. /cc @rwldrn

1.x and 2.x need to stay in functional sync to the greatest extent possible. This isn't an issue that affects only oldIE or other obsolete browsers left behind in 2.0. It's a difference between the way strict and non-strict code expect to be able to trace through stacks using the .callee property. We tend to think of "use strict" as being only a static-scoped concern but here's a case where it affects code outside the scope. Technically it seems possible to proscribe its use inside strict scope but allow it outside non-strict scope, even when tracing through strict code on the call stack, but that's not the current state of affairs with Firefox at least, and perhaps Chrome.

K, do you know if there are Chrome/Firefox issues tracking this?
It seems like something they'd want to be aware of since it's affecting the adoption of use strict.
// the stack via arguments.caller.callee and Firefox dies if
// you try to trace through "use strict" call chains. (#13335)
// Support: Firefox 18+

I just looked but didn't find a ticket for Firefox or Chrome. Not sure if this is anticipated behavior or not, but I agree it messes up adoption of use strict since you can never know when strictifying your own code will hose something that is called back from it. The big impact seems to be coming from ASP.NET forms and window.onerror handlers that use the info to generate stack traces.

@jdalton, I showed this issue to @lukehoban last week as well and he sent it along to them as well... hopefully they'll notice how much this is bumming us out.

In the comments I think it would be " arguments.callee.caller" but not " arguments.caller.callee".

@mzgol wish I could say so, but I haven't heard anything from the MS devs that I consulted with—ill reach out and find out what I can
