My Javascript opens a child window with URL "childDocument.html".

It then attempts to reference the document object.

Thus the script is

   childWin = open("childDocument.html", ...);
   childWinDocument = childWin.document;

Now if I use FB to break execution just after opening the window, and
step through it, I get the proper reference to the document object.  I
can get the 'body' property of document and look for a specific DOM
element by an 'id' attribute I am looking for.

But if I don't break with FB, and let script execution proceed at its
normal speed, what happens is that I get a 'null' on finding the DOM
element, because what happens is that URL is not "childDocument.html"
but instead "about:blank" and the baseURI value under the document
object is not "http://localhost/.../childDocument.html"; but instead
"chrome://browser/content/browers.xul"

Is there an explanation for this?
