[Solved] Disable firefox error console?

I have mapped two mouse gestures to the same function in firefox using two different extensions. I know this sounds really stupid but it is absolutely necessary! As a result, the error console opens every time I start firefox. The messages tab is displayed but no message shows up. This is very annoying so does anyone know an about:config option or a jar I can unpack and edit to stop it from showing up?

Ok after getting vague help at best from irc.mozilla.org I went grepping. I grepped xulrunner-1.9.0.11/chrome and firefox-3.0/chrome for all occurences of 'console.xul' and when I found one, I went into the corresponding file and commented it out. Problem solved! (In a horrible way)
This means I can't access it even if I wanted to. But that's ok because many console extensions make the built in console obsolete. I suppose the way to do this without wasting space would be to find out how to compile xulrunner and firefox so that they come with no console. But I imagine that would be difficult.

How to disable the Error Console of FrameMaker11?

Hi,
We use Adobe FDK to convert Frame files to XML and pass it as an input to another client. With FDK10 in Visual Studio 2008, the Raw XML was created with no errors. But, in FDK11 with Visual Stduio 2010, the Raw XML gets created fine but every created node is validated against some schema and throws XML parser error in the Error console. This validation brings down the performance of the customized client we use. Suggest me if there is any option to fix the issue or a way to disable the system default XML validation.Also, attached the error console for more details.
Thanks,
Venkat

The console that Venketraja is talking about is a "pod" in the Structured mode only and is unfortunately mis-named to be the same as the FrameMaker Console. This "console", AFAIK, can not be turned off in the current implementation of FM11. It has been discussed elsewhere, so Adobe engineering is aware of this issue.
@Venketraja, please file a bug report on this indicating that the inability to turn this off is drastically impacting performance. File it here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=63
You could also ask in the Yahoo Frame Developer's Forum, in case anyone ese has come up with a workaround. See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/frame_dev

You can ignore (CSS) errors in the Tools > Error Console. 
Those errors are only useful if you develop websites and want to check the HTML/CSS and JavaScript code for errors. 
Most errors are code for other browsers like IE or browsers on other platforms or just typos or the result of bad coding.

I think the error console might be a source of memory and lagging errors

I notice that if I open the Firefox Error Console logs that the error listings are fast and frequent (which is okay if the browser is working past them). However, after using Firefox v2 and upward I am now pondering if the error log might be the source of the hard-to-kill lagging and memory issues. I note that as the longer Firefox runs, the longer the error log must grow as well as the number of page fault calls which all eats up memory or requires more frequent disk swap paging to record it all. The longer it all runs, the bigger the error log goes.
Since the error log probably gets more leeway on memory cleanups and CPU hits (to retain accuracy) this eats up more processor time and more hard-to-kill memory space, which then kicks in the system's Paging File causing more disk swapping.
My suggestion is simple, create an ABOUT:CONFIG option to, clip off the error log once 100 (or user-defined) errors are hit. Delete the oldest errors, keep the newest until they get pushed off the rotating stack. Obvious problems with this are first renumbering rolls (deleting 001 and changing 002 to oo1 and so on also eats up pointless CPU cycles). Having an ever-growing numbering stack would hit an out-of-bounds error eventually (delete 001, number latest error 101, and so on).
A rotating "ERROR ROLLOVER LIST POSITION MARKER" is simpler.
Just have a variable called "ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER" and it holds a variable of 001 to 100. Whatever numerical value of the "ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER" is marks where the text value of the error listing is named "ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER".
Let us use for example that the last error on the rolling error list was at position 087
Text value for error list position 087: [ reference to undefined property ]
The value of numeric variable "ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER" would be 088
The text value for error list position 088: [ ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER ]
When we get the next new error, the variable numeric value of "ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER" would become 089
The text for error list position 089 would become: [ ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER ]
The text value for error list position 088 would become the text of whatever the current error was.
In this manner you can keep a simple quick list, save a bundle of memory, and in the event of a crash, you look for ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER values and you know exactly what the last error was and the 99 that preceded it.
When the ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER hits 100, then you simply push that to the 001 location when the next error hits and after the next error, the ERROR LIST ROLL MARKER becomes 002 and that current error text overwrites the 001 location.

Hi, I managed to solve the errors (kind of) by using this code.
for (var i:int = tower1BulletArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
if (tower1BulletArray.parent)
tower1BulletArray[l].parent.removeChild(tower1BulletArray[l]);
tower1BulletArray.splice(i, 1);
However, the problem still persists that the bullets stay in the screen after I change the scene. Any solution? Thanks!

Error Console blocking page from loading and will no disable. Trying to post a comment on BBS and page keeps getting blocked. How do I stop error console from blocking pop up or page from loading?

trying to post a message to syncmyride for Ford. A community comments section. The pop up blocker keeps blocking the page even after repeated attempts to click on the allow button. I can't find a way to disable this. When clicking on error console, it list a repeated error report for the page. This is not the exact URL because you have to log into the site in order to get to the point where you can post a comment.

Do we have an option to disable the FrameMaker error console programmatically in FDK11?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any option in the FDK11 to disable the
FrameMaker console window which runs on every frame file transformation. This
was happening with FrameMaker 10 too but it had never affected the performance.
With FrameMaker 11 the performance takes a huge hit and code slumps in the
middle of the transformation. Throw your thoughts on how to disable or to
periodically clear the contents running on the console.
Thanks,
Venkat

No way to disable it as far as I know. But you do control the content written to the console. Do you have .. F_Printf(NULL, "message") .. lines in your code? In general you want to limit the amount of content written to the console for the very reason you're seeing.
There are a number of places that FM displays messages .. are you really referring to the "console window" .. a separate window from the FM application woindow (a separate item on the task bar) .. or are you talking about the "console tab" .. the panel that shows up at the bottom of the application window, when an error occurs? (There's also the "log windows", which are locked FM documents that display at various times .. I assume you're not talking about those.)
If you're talking about the "console window" .. that you can control by not using .. F_Printf(NULL, ...). If you're talking about the "console tab" .. that should only display when something goes wrong, which hopefully you can control as well.
No .. I don't think you can disable either one. Do let me know if I'm wrong!

In my error console, i saw many errors. I didn't know why and how can i solve this?

I clicked tools, i saw error console. I clicked it and i saw many errors. I didn't know why and how i could solve a problem.

You can usually ignore those errors, the error console will show errors on many sites that you visit, though the sites will still work.

Error Console box opens automatically when I open Firefox. How do I fix this?

The Error Console box opens automatically every time I open Firefox. What can I do to fix this problem. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and restarting computer after doing so.

This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.

Error Console in Firefox

I am getting many warning messages in the error console using Firefox V 13. This one seems to be the most prevalent. It's not causing problems except that on some machines it causes the error console to pop up and is distracting for the users. "Warning: Unknown property '-moz-box-shadow'. Declaration dropped. " My suspicion is there will always be warning messages, is there a way to suppress the Error Console in v 13 ?

If you CAN NOT be polite here in the forum, then PLEASE TAKE YOUR SORRY ARSE somewhere ELSE..
