I was able to reproduce the issue on Firefox 35.0 build 3, Firefox 36 beta 3 and latest Nightly 38 (2015-01-26).

I can reproduce on 44, but not on Nightly. Are you still seeing this on Nightly?

This is what I get in the Browser Console:

This error is generated by the devtools. In your steps to reproduce, the devtools aren't opened in any way. Can you retry your STR on a clean profile and/or restate your STR so they include whatever you're doing with devtools?

So: 
1. installed 36b3 and had Browser Console opened
Results:
- [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIWebProgress.DOMWindow]"  nsresult: "0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: TabsProgressListener.onStateChange :: line 15551"  data: no]
2. installed 44.0 build 3 
2.1 Had the browser console opened
Results:
- [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIWebProgress.DOMWindow]"  nsresult: "0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: TabsProgressListener.onStateChange :: line 15551"  data: no]
- https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8858205 

2.2 Had the browser console closed while performing the steps and only after that opened it
Results:
- only [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE) [nsIWebProgress.DOMWindow]"  nsresult: "0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: TabsProgressListener.onStateChange :: line 15551"  data: no]

3. installed latest Nightly
3.1 Had the browser console opened
- https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8858205
3.2 Had the browser console closed while performing the steps and only after that opened it
- nothing in browser console

Patrick, can you redirect this to someone who can figure out what's going on here?

OK so I'm opening http://bzfd.it/1zCVQ51.  Trying to log out aGrip here: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/client/shared/widgets/VariablesViewController.jsm#334 and I get <unavailable>.

This all seems to stem from a failed call to console.dir at line 2 of https://s3-ak.buzzfed.com/static/js/General_concat_header.js?v=1454350084 (a minified file)

Attachment: console-dir-in-pages-toolbox.png

Interesting though that the dir works in the page's web console

Also, this can be triggered without the short url - directly at http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/super-fit-mom-accused-of-fat-shaming-for-no-excuse-workout-p#.rvYgPYeal

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

All the URLs from the different comments are either not available anymore or doesn't have a console.dir.
Since the file where the error ocured is not used by the console anymore, I think we can safely close this bug.
