Bug 278878 introduced some warnings sent to the browser console when unexpected things happen while parsing preference files. Unfortunately those messages are less useful than they could, because line numbers are not reported correctly. Here we want to improve this information, providing the correct line number at least, if not the column as well. Originally reported here: https://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21752

Giorgio, fixing this would be great; the parser code is convoluted enough that I only got close to the right line number with bug 278878, but it's often incorrect.
