Whatever I type after "javascript:" in the address in firefox 6, firebug says "uncaught exception: ReferenceError: document is not defined". If I try window, it says "uncaught exception: ReferenceError: window is not defined."

If I type the same code in the firebug mand line, it works. What gives?
