Are you sure the message is caused by your code? This message does often appear for every user of Firefox as it uses these functions internally (e.g. when clicking into textarea element). Try with Firefox 12 where the error console contains timestamps of messages.

Thanks for the report! However it's impossible to figure this one out without a test page we can use to reproduce the problem.

Please re-open if you manage to get a testcase that demonstrates the issue.
