Description Malgorzata Janczarska CLA 2011-09-14 09:13:46 EDT 
In some places we are creating a new class propotyle by overriding other class prototype, like this:
MyClass.propotype = MyOtherClass.prototype;
This is bad, because modifying MyClass.prototype we are also modifying MyOtherClass.prototype, we should use this:
MyClass.prototype = new MyOtherClass();
This is in several places especially explorer.

I went though our code and corrected places I could find, mostly situated in navigators. Hopefully I corrected it all.
