During my search for solution for the previously mentioned problem, I stumbled upon a XPCNativeWrapper, a wrapper that wrap around DOMs and javascript codes, to protect if from XSS (Cross side server script) or unprivileged codes that may change the behavior of one's website or in Mozilla's case, the browser itself.
The praised functionality of a browser to allow DOM manipulation has make web-based and browser-based development more exciting. Yet, malicious codes will always try to do unethical thing, such as steal usernames and passwords as reported by Greasemonkey community.
Hence, a protector such as this is adequate.
Thanks to developers of Mozilla-based browsers, XPCNW has been enabled by default for Firefox version 1.5 and above.
