User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Build ID: 20150819004006 Steps to reproduce: Given some Javascript code where a variable is undefined or there's a Typerror, the Firefox Developer Tools do not provide sufficient information to debug the problem. Actual results: I expect the Firefox Developer Tools to give me some information about the error and point me to the line where the error is coming from. See screenshot attached. Expected results: Firefox should provide more information about where the error is coming from and allow me to view the file in the debugger. Chrome does this nicely.

It works ok-ish since bug 1359144, but once 1317962 (re-)lands, it will include source-mapping the stack trace.
