TypeError: "alert" is read-only Firefox

[corevo]

Firefox does not let monkey patching the alert, which causes incompatibility with alert using test cases

I am getting this error on every page even when selenium ide isn't actually open.
This is on firefox nightly:

Is it related?

[corevo]

Yes it is, the extension is preparing every page to be tested regardless of wether the window is open or not, its a behavior I'm planning on changing.
That error happens specifically due to firefox not letting me rebind window.alert so that I can record the calls to it

[justnewbee]

i would like to report this too, it gets very annoying, please fix this
btw, selenium-ide is cool, thank you

[toddtarsi]

Noting here, the fix for this is to finish the re-write of Selenium IDE v4 in Electron / Node.

[toddtarsi]

Closing, v4 is in alpha now
