Description Ehsan Akhgari [:ehsan] 2014-03-28 04:04:39 UTC 
I recently moved Gecko's window.external implementation to WebIDL, and during that realized that the Window.external property currently in the spec is not [Replaceable].  But that is not Web compatible, testing with Gecko and Blink.  So I think we should make this property as [Replaceable].

Do you have a test case showing what you mean?

Note that the log says "5", not [object External].
