Writing front-end JS code for Firefox is generally a painful experience:
terrible error messages, often no filename or line number information, or
even no output at all. But I think we should be making things better, not
worse. Remove features like this takes us in the wrong direction. If the
undefined property warning is broken, we should fix it.

I don't know if Firefox front-end developers typically use debug builds, but I see many warnings in front-end JS when I run debug builds. If extraWarnings are useful, they could be enabled for Nightly release builds (specifically to aid Firefox developers) instead of just debug builds.
