a common complaint from developers, "i can't see my addon tree for the CSS error forest".

set layout.css.report_errors to false

this should probably be a jpm bug in addition/instead of cfx..
I think CSS errors should definitely be removed when tests are executed, by default.

However I'm not totally convinced about set such preference running the add-on, because is made for debugging, and sometimes check that CSS / HTML stuff were wrong helped me to adjust page-mod add-ons.
Plus, set the preference it would change the behavior of the Browser Console, not only our terminal dump, where I think for the Browser Console we should use the value of the profile where is running, that can be changed by the browser console interface or from `about:config`.

I would definitely prefer filter out the CSS / HTML error only from our terminal dump of the browser console: in that case I totally agree to remove them, without set such preference.

We should focus on jpm however, and leave the cfx as is.

Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm
