Thanks for CCing me, Alexey!

Yes, these messages are a bit verbose. We're currently dealing with it by ellipsizing the middle of the URL to get the whole thing down to ~150 characters, but I agree that we can do better.

Honestly, in most cases the error is useless. Bug 43504 and its children will fix half the problem (we're not throwing a catchable exception), the other half is proving problematic (I've yet to find a solution to bug 98050 that doesn't introduce significant performance regressions). Regardless, I think those bugs cover the long-term solution.

For the short-term, I'm fairly certain that we're already linking correctly to the line of script that tried to access location information by auto-generating a stack trace. I'll see what I can do about adjusting the console message to include a more minimal message. The suggestion to include only the bits that don't match up sounds quite reasonable.
