Details

Not only will this help people who are debugging their code, sometimes it is necessary to know what is going wrong (for example, minified code that is only on one line).

On top of that, Firefox isn't getting the attention it deserves from authors of developer tools simply because it is harder to get good enough debug information on. Quoting John Lenz, one of the Closure Compiler developers:

> If you manage to get stack traces report column number like in Chrome and IE10, that would be fantastic!  Firefox doesn't get nearly the attention it should from our client side incident reports simply because they don't contain enough information to take action on.
