If you have opened multiple tabs with commercial (read:buggy) web pages, all the messages fill the error console, especially if some pages redraw themselves with their errors automatically.
It would be nice to be able to filter the messages in the error console per web page or per tab. Maybe even provide a context menu within a tab to show that tab's (or frame's) errors and warnings.
Additionally removing messages on a per tab or per URL base would be helpful in some cases.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open some buggy web pages where the original author refuses to fix the bugs
2. See the messages fill up the error console

Actual Results:  
Resign ;-) No, file an enhancement request for Firefox at least

Expected Results:  
On some nice days all those bugs are gone.
