    <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I've added clarifications in response to a comment; where it's possible and meaningful, those added carifications are in <em>italic font style.</em> </p> <p><em>I've posted this question on Firefox groups as well as here on SO.</em></p> <p>There are at least 25 related questions on SO, a few representative questions being:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/902501/permission-denied-to-call-method-location-tostring">Flash bug</a> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30540/what-does-this-javascript-error-mean-permission-denied-to-call-method-to-locatio">cross-domain issue</a> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3656070/javascript-error-permission-denied-for-http-www-mydomain-com-to-call-method-l">just a mystery</a> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/127693/firefox-xpcom-component-permission-denied-to-call-method-unnamedclass">FF XPCOM problem</a> </ul> <p>There are ~15 accepted answers, none of which seem to apply here. Because there are so many questions and accepted answers, I am assuming that my question addresses an issue that developers have often tripped over. </p> <p><em>I have written a straight-up web page that, in my view, is completely normal and usual. I have nothing unusual on the page, nothing that I -- and probably you and all web developers -- haven't been using for the past ten years at least.</em></p> <p>I'm viewing the page I've developed with <em>Firefox 3.6.16 with Firebug 1.6.2.</em> </p> <p>With varying periodicity, but typically every 30 to 60 minutes for 65% of the incidents, an error message shows up in the <em>Firebug</em> console:</p> <pre><code>Permission denied for &lt;http://ad.yieldmanager.com&gt; to call method Location.toString </code></pre> <p>Most of these message point at yieldmanager, but I see complaints about doubleclick and interclick as well. FB gives me no properties about the error messages.</p> <p>View->Source of the page shows nothing about yieldmanager or any other offender.</p> <p>There are calls to AdSense, but removing that code entirely changes nothing wrt the error messages.</p> <p>There are about 3000 line of plain, vanilla-type JavaScript on the page but nothing at all exotic that I can see. </p> <p>I have not explicitly or (I believe) implicitly included any framework code: no JScript, xjs, MooTools, not anything. </p> <p><strong>Question:</strong> How can I find out who is calling Location.toString( ); and how can I get rid of that guy? </p>

    1. COIs this for your page or a general question? Have you tried turning your extensions off? Have you tried looking in Firebug's XHR viewer? A question like this needs more context. What page? Can you link to the code? What extensions? And for those who don't happen to know common Firefox lingo: What's FF? (It's Fx, there's no such thing as FF) What's FB? (You meant Firebug, but we're not all psychic). This isn't Bugzilla, it's SO. Also, this could well be a Superuser question... although it's implied you're having this trouble with a page you wrote, it's not stated anywhere.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
