Clicking a URL inside the Firefox error console no longer opens the source! FF 4

Working on a web application and find the Firefox error console to be indispensable.

However I recently upgraded to FF 4 and now when I click errors in the console, the source code doesn't come up like it used to. Not sure it's related to the upgrade but timing is about right.

I've looked over about:config options, made sure the console is enabled, etc. Spent a long time with google trying to find someone else with this problem... nothing.

I get the "hand" cursor when hovering over the URL as if clicking it will do what I expect. However, nothing at all happens. Nada.

I've looked around for hidden windows and even tiny ones but can't find anything...

Any ideas?

Well, I can't exactly figure out why this is happening, but I did find that it only happens when I have the Error Console window on a different display as the main window. I use 2 displays to make debugging easier and moving the error console window to the main display makes it work again.

On a Mac, FWIW.
