Hi sunilrxg,
Thank you for contacting support. There are a number of resources for helping debug and develop an extension. Please feel free to capture the object issue in one of the debugging tools and create a bug in Bugzilla.
You can try these as well:
- Make sure the settings on the second machine does not have this set: "open all new windows in a tab" in all browsers, or
- Try this for debugging your extension as you develop: [DOM Inspector]
- This is another good resource for debugging the javascript object:| JavaScript debugging in Firefox extensions by Mark A. Ziesemer
Hope this helps.

Did this work in earlier versions of Firefox and/or MacOS X and stop working recently? This may be useful in tracking down what changed.
Here are two other forums more suited to discussing extension development (i.e., code which requires privileges not accorded to ordinary content scripts):
