After some discussion at bug 554594 I'm following up here - the bug was
unfortunately misused by me a little for the initial discussion.

Closely related to bug 554594 is
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535649

Web developers using Firefox Error Console or tools like Firebug that use nsIConsoleService are now bombarded with pointless messages like:

services.addons.mozilla.org : potentially vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555

I'm sure the person who put the code in to emit this message thought it was important. They probably did not realize that developers have to use the Error Console and console service all day, every day and these messages are a burden.

Readers of this message are not in a position to prevent the message. It is not appropriate to write such a message into the error console. Even if you think it's just the most important bit of technology news you can imagine, please direct your message to the people who can actually do something about it.

Thanks,
jjb
