I found this relevant to some previous discussions: https://github.com/feross/native-buffer-browserify/commit/18c6784277e25db01ee145e5dfaaf23bb5b311fc
The "native-buffer-browserify" is an attempt to provide a typed array-based version of Node.js's Buffer interface [1]. (Buffer is something that was created before TypedArrays existed.) In Firefox, which has non-extensible typed arrays, this cannot be done, and so the author had to resort to using a proxy that forwards to the underlying typed array. In other engines, it worked straightforwardly. I believe this use case could also be solved by ES6-style subclassing support on TypedArrays, but that doesn't appear to work in Firefox either, from my tests.
