Although this is firefox's console popping up, I think this is related
to firebug, because it only happens once I enable the firebug console
to show more errors (CSS errors, javascript warnings...). Then it is
enough to click anywhere on a page that has firebug enabled to trigger
the pop-ups. The console doesn't have new messages to display most of
the time.

I'm not sure what you mean by "console". OS console (cmd line)?
Javascript Error Console?
Firebug doesn't popup anything itself that I know about.

I just upgraded to FF 2.0.0.9 on Mac OS X and am getting the following when
a FB enabled pageloads:

[Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111
(NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame ::
file:///Applications/FireFox%202.0/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsS
essionStore.js :: sss_saveState :: line 1749" data: no]

Anyone else seen this and have a solution...?

Yes, so I suppose there is an interaction with something else in
firefox. I have no idea what can fire the js error console.

Also, I should clarify: it happens when clicking on an
'addEventListener' handler. I should make some test case.

I think I aleady got this behaviour, with jQuery... Maybe this problem occurs in a callback (for instance an Ajax callback), or something like that ?

Turns out my problem was totally unrelated to firebug.

I was using <a href="javascript:"/> links. Clicking on them, you will
get a firefox console pop-up.
I find it weird, at least I've connected the dots now.

Bonus: try doing $$('a')[0].href = 'javascript:console.log' on a
firebug-enabled webpage.
