80704 - Option to remove dupe errors/warnings in Error Console

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, enhancement)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

I'd like to be able to hide the same error from being shown twize. So if you
have two same warnings the console would only show it once.
Something like "View" -> "Remove duplicate warnings" -> On/Off

try adding:
user_pref("javascript.options.strict", true);
to your prefs.js file and go to:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi

the console is flooded with dupe warnings....

<OT>BTW is there any GUI to switch javascript.options.strict or it's just
accessible via pref.js?</OT>

May be Severity should be reduced from Normal to Enhancement ?

Moving this to Toolkit, I'll get to this after bug 489736 lands (if toolkit wants it).

The Error Console has been removed in favor of the Browser Console (see Bug 1278368), and the component is going to be removed.  If this bug is also relevant in the Browser Console, please reopen and move this into Firefox -> Developer Tools: Console.

I am mass-reopening and re-componenting every single one of the Toolkit:Error Console bugs that appear to have been closed without anyone even *glancing* at whether they were relevant to the Browser Console.

If you want to close a whole bunch of old bugs -- FOR ANY REASON -- it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and make sure they are no longer valid.  Do not push that work onto the bug reporters.

(It's okay to close bugs that haven't been touched in years when they don't have enough information for you to figure out whether the problem is still relevant to the current software - the reporter probably isn't coming back to clarify.  But that is the ONLY situation where it is okay.)

(I'm going to have to do this in two steps because of the way the "change several bugs at once" form works.  Apologies for the extra bugspam.)

The Error Console feature was removed entirely from the tree in Bug 1278368 and the bugzilla component is now being removed. We’ve migrated bugs that seem to also affect the Browser Console into the devtools component, please move this over if it was missed.
