MooTools class worked before 23.0.1

For a web application that I am working on using MooTools (and a custom class for modal windows), FF21, IE7-10, and Chrome24 all work just fine. Upgrade to FF23.0.1, and there's an error when trying to close a modal window - nothing works and the page has to be refreshed to continue working.

hide: function(){ 

 var win = this;
 parent.frames[win.name].$('containerID').setStyle('display','none');
 win.popup.addClass('hidden');
 return win;
 }

This closes the modal in FF21, IE7-10, and Chrome. But not in FF23.0.1.

Then the developer has to update their addon/plugin for the newer versions of firefox, if its really needed, you can revert to the last working version.

What error messages do you see in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) about this issue?

Firefox may not support frames[win.name], but only frames[#] with an index number and you may need to use getElementById() or getElementByName() instead.

FireBug is reporting: parent.frames[win.name].$ is not a function

It _could_ be that FF 23 only supports index instead of name/id, but that seems an odd thing to stop supporting name/id after so many versions do. Was working flawlessly in v21.

I'll look into it to see if frame support has changed in v23.

Thanks,
