The chrome URI creation and canonization code likes to log "Invalid chrome URI: /" errors when it is passed invalid input. Unfortunately, FxA creates such invalid URIs and puts them in the login manager. We also run into them when importing stuff from other browsers which have different chrome: URI formats.

The methods that produce these errors already cause JS exceptions to callers and/or NS_ERROR_FAILURE results, so the additional logged errors are just noise. Additionally, the / part of the error is unhelpful - the error message should contain the entire uri-like input.
