Before Firefox 53, the
pathname and
search
HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils properties returned the wrong parts of the URL. For example, for a URL of
http://z.com/x?a=true&b=false,
pathname would return
'/x?a=true&b=false' and
search would return '', rather than
'/x' and
'?a=true&b=false' respectively. This has now been fixed.
