This is a problem with L10N. The property name is not found. This happened before, but I cannot remember which bug.

I cannot reproduce this with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100810 Minefield/4.0b4pre

After step 5, have the open error console open and try entering and exiting PB mode again

Reprioritizing bugs. You can filter the mail on the word TEABAGS.

I cannot reproduce this issue. I use Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100922 Firefox/4.0b7pre

(local build, pulled today from m-c).

Aaron: can you still reproduce the error?

I would note that I follow the original STR. Which means that the Web Console can open after having went into PB and out of it.

I presume you bumped into bug 583476 which prevented the Web Console from opening on web sites which overwrite the window.console object (that's the case with rogers.com and quite some more sites). This is now fixed.

The other error you're seeing is bug 597151. When the Web Console is open and then closed we do not remove the nsIConsoleListener we have, and the listener tries to output messages in the Web Console which is no longer open. Rogers.com spews many errors and that's how you see those errors when returning from PB.

Lastly, at the moment it is expected that the Web Console doesn't return to its open state once you're back from PB. If this is desired, I believe we should file a separate report.

Thanks!

It's been a while, using my STR in comment #0, I can no longer reproduce the error - although I do get 

13:18:19.108: The Web Console logging API (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) has been disabled by a script on this page.

Indeed, and this is expected, as per bug 583476. We are warning the user that the web page has overwritten the window.console object and that our WebConsole API is not going to be available. (we do not overwrite author-provided window.console objects)

can we close this then?
