getBoxObjectFor returns a read only variable

[kleite@…]

Latest change to Style.js checks for Mozilla browser and uses the 'getBoxObjectFor' method for returning the node's location. 'getBoxObjectFor' returns a read only BoxObject? that cannot be updated which is tried later on in the ds.getAbsolutePosition method. The test_Button2.html file displays this defect.

The following patch will correct this issue:

Hmm, I did test this and was working for me. I can change it though. What version of FF are you using?
