same code about string.replace get different result in firefox and chrome
Recently I wrote a simple javascript code, but got a very weird behavior in Firefox and Chrome, code lists bellow:
console.log(
"sap.ui.widget.Progressbar"
.replace(/./g, '/')
.replace("", "./resources/css/")
);In Chrome (version 69.0.3497.100) I got expected result: "./resources/css/sap/ui/widget/Progressbar", but in Firefox (version 63.0) I get a totally different result: "sap/ui/widget/Progressbar".
Can some explain this? Is it a bug for Firefox? Thanks.

Yes, this is a bug in Spidermonkey. It has been reported and will be fixed in FF 65 if all goes well. (The bug does not occur on any other Javascript engine)
The problem is that intermediate strings (such as those resulting from calling String.prototype.replace on a string literal) more than 24 characters long are represented in Spidermonkey as ropes, while those 23 or fewer characters long are not ropes. Spidermonkey did not properly replace ropes when called with replace(''. (see function BuildFlatRopeReplacement in js/src/builtin/String.cpp)
You can reproduce the problem by calling .replace and replacing at least one character in a 24+ character string, and then calling .replace again with the empty string:
// Run on FF 64 or lower to reproduce:
// Second replacement at the beginning of the string fails:
console.log(
"a".repeat(24).replace('a', 'b').replace("", "foo")
);
// Works as expected:
console.log(
"a".repeat(23).replace('a', 'b').replace("", "foo")
