642526 - Web Console should always show lineNumber and fileName when reporting uncaught exceptions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 642528

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Wesley W. Garland]

In ff4rc1, I often get messages like this in the console when developing new code:

[14:20:00.868] uncaught exception: ReferenceError: user is not defined

(This is with the orange colour indicator and an orange X beside it)

This error happens in a function is called from an event handler in the comet framework we use (based on MooTools, if that matters).

Also, what is the  orange x supposed to do? Is it just decoration, or should it remove the message from the web console output?

the orange x is an icon indicating JS + error

I think you entered the wrong bug number here - and yes this bug is no doubt a dupe

Good eye, thanks.  "No doubt a dupe" - a dupe of bug 642528 (the number I meant to type), or another bug?
