Subj : What changed with JS prototype usage?

I have been away from Mozilla development for several years.
I am attempting to resurrect some old code before embarking on a re-design.

The original working code that now crashes has been in a jar file for 
all this time and has not changed.
The following idioms used to work but are now silently ignored:


function foo() {
	this.mx = null;
}

foo.prototype.bar = function() {
}

foo.prototype.__defineGetter__('x', function() {
	return this. mx;
})

When I step through the code loading using Venkman, function foo() is 
loaded, the other functions are skipped. Did this become illegal at some 
point?
