Bug Description

After using Firefox for a few days the Javacript Console gets filled with the

We are now using 1.0.6 upstream so I assume this is fixed. If not please reopen
or refile the bug.

Thanks.

So it does seem this is related to the Macromedia Flash plugin. Does that
invalidate the bug?

Often, but not always, when clicking on a link this error appears in Javascript Console. Links in bugzilla do trigger error.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS) [nsIXPCComponents.lookupMethod]" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/XPCNativeWrapper.js :: anonymous :: line 91" data: no]

It's a bit of a nuisance, 'cause the JS console gets filled up with these error messages. I suspect that's why my JS console often takes a loooong time to appear on my screen.

Reproducible: Sometimes

This bug watch number is clearly bogus; the bug I found isn't very descriptive but at least it's the exact same issue.
