Does this work on Firefox?

I can't reproduce this on mac and don't have a windows development environment set up. While this is unfortuante, using a key combination on startup to open the js console is a viable workaround.

Yes, it works on Firefox.

This is Windows-only. As it's a startup issue, bug 1321955 may help, though I doubt it as this was filed 6 months ago.

Now I've done it, I don't think it will help.

Maybe jorgk can take a look when he has time as he is on Windows...

Sorry, I have very limited time. You could save me time if you told me what you want me to do. Start TB on the command line with -jsconsole and look for what exactly?

It seems clear from comment 0 and comment 1 the error console does not pop up on Windows. It needs debugging by someone on Windows ;) It's probably not the most important bug though.
