Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

In the linked page at http://www.avtec.com/products/fast_index_downloads,
clicking the "Toggle All Product Descriptions" button (which activates a small
JS function called toggleMultiple located at
http://www.avtec.com/design/avtec/js/utility.js) causes a completely EMPTY
Javascript Console to appear.  

No errors, warnings or messages are reported by the Console.  If it is closed,
and the "Toggle All Product Descriptions" button is clicked again, the empty
Console reappears... 
                

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open the Javascript Console, clear it, and close it.
2. Navigate to http://www.avtec.com/products/fast_index_downloads.
3. Click the "Toggle All Product Descriptions" button on that page.

Actual Results:  
The Javascript console pops up, with no errors, warnings or messages shown.

Expected Results:  
The Javascript Console should not appear unless opened from the Firefox Tools
menu, or (at the very least) unless it has some urgent error to report.

Marking WFM.

Make sure if this happens with a clear profile, or if you need to set specific
settings to make this reproducible.

FWIW, a webpage can open JS Console by setting "location" to "javascript:". I
don't like it, but it's always been like that.
