806421 - Firefox spewing lots of errors on stderr

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 785200

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[crxssi]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

Browser: Firefox 16.0.2 64bit Linux version downloaded from ftp.mozilla.org
OS: RHEL 6.2

Was running from the command line, had not visited any sites, had been looking at about:config, wasn't even using the browser for several. It suddenly spewed out 91 lines of cryptic "errors" on the stdout or stderr when I wasn't even interacting with the browser.  Listed below:

Expected results:

I am not sure what caused the above and suspect this is detailed debug information that should not be enabled in a production/office compile/release of Firefox.

This will be fixed in the next Firefox version (FF 17.0).
