Put the following script in the userChrome.css file: menuitem[label="Error Console"] {display: none !important;} -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help!!!!

I see, those links are broken, malformed, whatever you want to call it. <a href="javascript:" onclick="create_row();">create row</a> should be: <a href="javascript:create_row();">create row</a> etc. "javascript:" (no quotes) starts the error console, try typing it in the url bar, I don't think it should be possible to start it from a web page, it may even be a security problem. I don't know of another way to stop it than by turning of javascript, which kind of defeats the purpose. Fwiw, it doesn't happen on Minefield (Firefox 3), so it may (will?) be fixed in the future.

Now it appears to function properly and the error console is no longer showing up. In Firefox and Opera. Not, however, in Internet Explorer 7. Any idea why not? Thanks! Ross |

What you can do about it is rewrite the page to act differently upon detecting different browsers. Michel |

I've been trying to get rid of the error console popping up all the time for some time now - it would open every time I opened Firefox, considerably slowing down startup. I disabled all of my add-ons and re-enabled them until I came upon the problem. I found out that I had two different mouse-gestures add-ons installed, causing a conflict which made it open all the time. I'd recommend disabling all of your addons and re-enabling them one by one just to check if that's the problem.

Thanks willeifler. Your fix worked for me.
Both FireGestures and Mouse Gestures Redox addons were installed. I uninstalled FireGestures from the Addon screen and restarted Firefox 3.0 No more annoying Error Console every start up. Thanks again. It had been annoying me for weeks. |
