A user asked this a while ago. Why not work on the latest versions of Mozilla?

Given an XML structure like so:

<bookstore>

<book>
  <title lang="eng">Harry Potter</title>
  <price>29.99</price>
</book>

<book>
  <title lang="eng">Learning XML</title>
  <price>39.95</price>
</book>

</bookstore>

I'm using this expression:

path="/bookstore/book/title/@lang";

It works on Google Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari. But not in Mozilla Firefox. Only happens with attributes (@ or attributes::).

I tried in Mozilla 6 and works perfect, but not in Mozilla 33 or 34

Please include a code sample showing the failure. http://jsfiddle.net/1yer552a/ works fine for me with Firefox 34. – Martin Honnen Dec 18 '14 at 13:54
Works fine for me, too, Firefox 34. Please substantiate your claim. Also, the unabbreviated XPath axis is `attribute::`, not `attributes::` - a typo? – Mathias Müller Dec 18 '14 at 14:14
Perhaps the data is in an HTML DOM rather than an XML DOM, in which case the browser inserts elements to try and "repair" your HTML? – Michael Kay Dec 18 '14 at 16:28
and how exactly do you run xpath in Mozilla Firefox? – user3616725 Dec 22 '14 at 09:30
