Just to clarify, what information are you flagging as useless? The only item I think is extraneous here is this one:

chrome://global/content/datepicker.xhtml  grouping

That definitely shouldn't be there. "alert" indicates a pop-up, though arguably, that's redundant because of the "dialog" later. I think the rest is all relevant though.
