WHen i inspect an element in an iframe, Firebug will load the DOM of
that iframe in the HTML tab. However, the top element is the html
element of that iframe. in past versions of Firebug, you would see
the dom of the entire page, so that you could navigate above the
iframe and into the parent DOM.

Is this a bug or a purposeful regression?

We had no plans to make a change like the one you describe.

This only occurs in 1.5 ... it must be related to some change we have
made to the HTML tree.

I went through and tested a bunch of versions. It started with
1.5Xa26. So something between Sept 28th and Oct 9th.

My guess is r4469's changes to getParentObject, but unfortunately I
have must be somewhere else and won't have a change to confirm.
Thought I'd try and narrow it down first...
