180324 - Add separate input field for JavaScript console error information entry to Bugzilla helper.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Wesha]

A good number of bugs would be easier to figure out if we had a JavaScript error
messages handy. It might be a good idea to add another input window to Bugzilla
Helper, with the wording closie to following:


JavaScript Errors:
If the bug you're reporting is non-fatal, and you are able to reproduce it,
please open Javascript Console (Tools -> Web Development -> JavaScript Console)
and click the Clear button. Then, reproduce the bug and copy and paste error
messages from JavaScript Console (if any) to this field.

I'll go one step further here--instead of silently failing (as in the case of
syntax errors), an icon should appear not unlike the popup icon in the lower
left corner of the browser window with the Errors, Warnings, or Messages icon. 
When one appears, you should be able to click on it to view the javascript console.

WONTFIX - Bugzilla Helper is complex enough as it is, and only "this website is
broken" bugs would need this extra UI.
