Getting strange 'realtime' errors in browser console, what do they mean?

more options

I have recently noticed that since either yesterday or the day before that, I have been getting strange 'realtime' error messages in my browser console log. I am getting them for more or less the same sites, and I have attached a screenshot of some of the most frequent errors as an example. I see these errors very frequently in the browser console log.

So I am slightly worried about what these errors mean, why I am getting them, and if anything, what to do about them.

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

On the right side of the browser console is a link to the script associated with the message. If you hover that or right-click it, can you figure out the source? The first part (full.en) doesn't ring any bells for me.

Right, the issue went away earlier today, but if it returns I will get the requested information.
