Firefox 3.6.3 and the error console

After an update of Firefox I got a really annoying behaviour: the error console just popped up randomly showing css format errors and other stuff. Disabling the reporting of those errors didn't help, until I found in a thread somewhere on the internet (sorry, forgot to bookmark the link) that mouse gestures extensions might cause that. Indeed, disabling exactly this extension (in my case "All-in-one Gestures") immediately led to a hassle free Firefox.

To be honest, this problem actually showed up on a Windows machine

Update:
With the following version 3.6.4 the problem vanished.

FLEXlm license manager server on Ubuntu

This is not specifically for Ubuntu on a Mac, but rather a hint for myself getting the license manager for e.g. IDL running on an arbitrary Ubuntu Server.
