Please post complete reports to Bugzilla. People reading bugs shouldn't need to click through to external sites.

The bug report says:

------------------------------
var expr = (new RegExp).compile('str');
// now expr will be undefined

The RegExp.prototype.compile function is non-standard.  Mozilla have tried to remove it at least once: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630284

That said, FF will return the regexp, while Safari and Chrome will return undefined.
