The message

  There was an error processing this feed. It's our fault. :-( You can
  still subscribe to the feed if you know what it is. For reference, the
  error was:

is misleading in that the user surely think the message is coming
from the upstream site, "Bob's blog is making funny messages".

Therefore please make the message say that is it coming from
/usr/share/iceweasel/chrome/en-US/locale/browser/feeds/subscribe.dtd
on one's home iceweasel set up, lest one pester the webmaster, when
all along the problem was e.g., in a intervening proxy, etc.

Anyway, "it's our fault": say who "our" is!

P.S., at the end of the message it says
 For reference, the error was:
but then didn't print anything.

Also in the tty one sees on the tty that started iceweasel
  *** FIXME: TypeError: this._result has no properties

Here you forget that you are sending such messages to ttys that have
started many programs.

It is just by luck that the user can guess the message came from
iceweasel, and probably /usr/lib/iceweasel/libmozjs.so.

Therefore, please prefix such messages with "iceweasel [PID]:" etc.
just like we use $0 in shell script messages. Thanks.
