The three line salute to firefox !!

Hey,

I was giving finishing touches to the Seam Carving Demo that I have been working on for quite some time now, when I stumbled on a strange problem. The canvas implementation in Firefox seemed to be very slow and unsuited for image manipulation. The script was taking too long to execute.
At one instant, I did something like canvas.getContext('2d').putImageData(null,0,0). Well, I did not explictly pass the null to putImageData, the imageData that I was passing somehow got corrupted, and hence, a null arguement was passed to putImageData.
Quoting the HTML 5 specifications

If the first argument to the method is not an object whose [[Class]] property is ImageData, but all of the following conditions are true, then the method must treat the first argument as if it was an ImageData object (and thus not raise the TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR exception):

• The method's first argument is an object with width and height attributes with integer values and a data attribute whose value is an integer array.
• The ImageData object's width is greater than zero.
• The ImageData object's height is greater than zero.
• The ImageData object's width multiplied by its height multiplied by 4 is equal to the number of entries in the ImageData object's data array.
• The ImageData object's data array only contains entries that are in the range 0 to 255 inclusive.

The first argument was not a class of type ImageData (it is null), and hence none of the other conditions are satisfied. Hence, by the specifications, a TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR should have been raised. However, all firefox does is crash the browser in my case.
Here is the link to the page that could potentially crash Firefox. I tried googling for this error, but could not find any existing reference to an error as this. For the record, I used Firefox 2.0.0.6 [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6] on Windows XP.
