you really can't disable it, but, you can remove it from
your view. Put the following script in the userChrome.css file:

menuitem[label="Error Console"] {display: none !important;}

Why would you want to do that?
Anyway, to remove it from the menu add

/* Disable the error console */
#javascriptConsole {display: none !important}

to your userChrome.css

I see, those links are broken, malformed, whatever you want to call it.
create row should be:
create row etc.
"javascript
:" (no quotes) starts the error console, try typing it in the
url bar, I don't think it should be possible to start it from a web
page, it may even be a security problem.
I don't know of another way to stop it than by turning of javascript,
which kind of defeats the purpose.
Fwiw, it doesn't happen on Minefield (Firefox 3), so it may (will?) be
fixed in the future.

Following your advice, I modified the links as you indicated. Now it appears to function properly and the error console is no longer showing up.

In Firefox and Opera. Not, however, in Internet Explorer 7.

Any idea why not?

Thanks!

IE gives you an error:
Line: 81
Char: 3
Error: Object doesn't support
this property or method

IE apparently does not support addEventListener,
it uses attachEvent instead.
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_advanced.html
gives a more detailed explanation.

What you can do about it is rewrite the page to act differently upon
detecting different browsers.

I've been trying to get rid of the error console popping up all the time for some time now - it would open every time I opened Firefox, considerably slowing down startup. I disabled all of my add-ons and re-enabled them until I came upon the problem. I found out that I had two different mouse-gestures add-ons installed, causing a conflict which made it open all the time. I'd recommend disabling all of your addons and re-enabling them one by one just to check if that's the problem.

No need to complicate things more editing scripts or anything else!
The solution is very simple and was pointed by Melville: you probably have 2 conflicting mouse gesture add-ons.
I had both "All-in-one gestures 0.22.1" and "FireGestures 1.6.6" and the error console window was popping up every time.
I simply disabled FireGestures and voilá... no more error console window.
Thanks Melville!
