This warning is pretty important for finding potential compatibility bugs in Firefox, extensions, and Greasemonkey scripts.  mrbkap explained to me why it doesn't work in the browser and has ideas about how to make it work again.

I noticed that we're swallowing strict warnings right now. The check in NS_ScriptErrorReporter eagerly reports warnings that would otherwise be swallowed.

It turned out that the warning *was* being correctly reported all along. We don't have to do any additional work there, just report warnings eagerly.

This could use some manual testing both with strict warnings enabled and not before landing...

Note that there are a few strict warnings in chrome that are now being reported that were previously suppressed. They will need their own investigation and resolution.
