This is not an exploitable security bug, it looks like a scripting bug in the Google Toolbar. What version of the Google Toolbar do you have?

If this only recently started spewing these errors it could be because of a Google Toolbar update, or because of a Firefox regression. Did this ever work for you? If it did, when did it break?

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

The errors in comment 2 are something else. The first one from viewSource.js is not any kind of a problem, it just means someone tried to view-source an unknown protocol. The way JavaScript components signal errors is by throwing exceptions so the presence of exceptions only tells you errors were encountered. They could be normal, expected, and handled errors (someone typing "view-source:foo://garbage" for instance) or they could indicate bugs in the component.

It doesn't do any good to lump different errors together in the same bug, this bug should stick to the boundary-point error in Google Toolbar

With WebExtensions being the only valid way of doing extensions in Firefox 57, I don't think this bug is still relevant.
