Hello,
I've got this warning repeating A LOT in every page of my web project:
XUL box for a element contained an inline #text child, forcing all its
children to be wrapped in a block

I've googled to understand what's causing it, but couldnt find a real
explanation...

can anyone tell me some more about this warning?
what's causing it? should I worry about it?

Many thanks in advance,
David

XUL is a Mozilla markup language for the Firefox and Thunderbird UI.
You can ask them about it.

The standard (if not very convenient) solution for funky errors in
Firefox is to create a new Firefox profile, see

Thanks for your reply!

I dont mind getting these warnings as much as I care for the reason
these warnings exists...
So setting up a new profile in firefox to stop these errors from
showing is not what I'm after... I'm after tracing the root of this
problem.
My main care is that the performance of the website is not affected by
this problem, and that my users will be happy :)

Do you think that I should be worried, performance wise?

Thanks again!

The new profile will tell you if the problem is 1) you 2) you +
firebug or 3) some junk in your profile that few others have.

I'm betting on 3 ;-)

No because I guess that your users don't run in your profile so they
don't have the error.

What do you mean by "wrong format"? As I understand this message it should never appear because of wrong written website code.
It would help everybody if you gave a clear description what caused this message.
John actually had the same problem earlier but dealing with XUL.

Even I got the same error, I cleared it, it was an css error I used wrong format in css file which caused me the error, basically check the syntax of html, css.
