I was recently trying to troubleshoot a problem of access a secure bank site [SSL problem] and trying to use the error console to figure out what was wrong. It makes little sense to a common end user of Java such as myself.

What does one do with the information in the catagories and what are the Code and Evaluate buttons use? What are you supposed to enter into the 'address' box or whatever it is??

Is the error console just for web page designers or what?

Dianna,

The Error Console isn't intended for the average user. It is mainly used by webpage and program developers for troubleshooting their work. I wish Mozilla would just remove it from Firefox and offer it as an extension for the few number of users who really need it; like Mozilla did with the DOM Inspector a couple of years ago.
