Selection::modify is Safari only, FF doesn't support it afaict. I'm not sure why you'd be having problems with selection.modify("move", "forward", "sentence"), can you include the entire test case?

I see. The test tries to modify a non-editable selection. Marking confirmed per the above comment (there doesn't seem to be any reason to restrict selection.modify() to editable content). |
selection.modify() does not work when "move" is specified as first argument. var selection = window.getSelection(); selection.modify("move", "forward", "sentence"); This works in Firefox
