        <pre>Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select some text on any page.
2. Open DevTools, go to the console
3. Enter:

var selection = getSelection();
selection.getRangeAt(0) === selection.getRangeAt(0);

It returns false. The spec:
<a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#dom-selection-getrangeat">https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#dom-selection-getrangeat</a>
is clear:
&quot;it must return a reference to (not a copy of) the context object's range.&quot;

The same happens in Chrome; Firefox does the right thing.</pre>
