That's an internal error, you're not causing it. Maybe a bum extension. Do you know what page you're on when it happens? What addons (if any) do you have installed?
Hello, I have no clue how to reproduce this at all. I don't even know what page im on when this happens. But it happens at least once a day
Lindsey, do you have any extension installed?
Summary: Dunno where this happened but happens everyday! → JavaScript component does not have a method named: "handleEvent"' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]
This probably happens because some kind of extension is installed that has a component that hasn't written code for the handleEvent thing.
Reproducible with Shredder. No extension required. See Bug 476422
On second thought, probably not the same component triggering it, for the reporter, that's triggering it in Shredder, so ignore my comment. :-/
I started noticing this in my error console today. It happens for me on every single keystroke, regardless of cursor position. I have 10 or so add-ons, but I disabled every one to no avail.
This error is showing up consistently for me. It seems to have to do with the CTRL+V paste keyboard shortcut. I can replicate it across every application and website I've tried. I think it may be slowing my Firefox sessions down too. After a while, response time slows to a crawl, and the only way to fix it is to restart Firefox. I'm using Firefox v.3.5.3 on a Windows machine running XP Pro. I've got a lot of add-ons installed, but I don't think it's one of them. I disabled most of them--"most" because I need Firebug on in order to track the error and I've had some installed from before I started seeing this error--and still got this error, so I re-enabled them.

I guess it's caused by Firebug then.
Seriously? Isn't that like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire? But I guess it's possible.
In about:config, you van set javascript.options.showInConsole to true, to get chrome errors, you don't necessarily need Firebug for that. I guess I was too quick with my conclusion in comment 10, but I can't reproduce this issue.
For information, I got exactly the same error message issued 10 times with thunderbird 3.0beta4, when clicking options in a new message: Reproducible: Start a new message by clicking on write; a new window pops up; click on options; the error message is issued 10 times in ErrorConsole Note: The menu Options include 10 items Normally I have no active extensions launching thunderbird in safe-mode by: tb32jf -P tb32beta4 --jsconsole --safe-mode & where tb32jf is a slight modification of the standard script in order to run thunderbird 32bit in an AMD64 system.

The error I have doesn't seem to be in extension code. But maybe it's caused by one. As the line contains "popupBox.hidePopup();" it may be Adblock Plus. Error: [Exception...
