Unknown Errors Use of getBoxObjectFor() is deprecated. Try to useelement.getBoundingClientRect() if possible.

I have no idea whats causing this error on this page. It makes it so
that the mousovers on the icons don't work.

It is a good idea to read the FAQ.

In particular:
http://jibbering.com/faq/#posting

| Use the Subject: line to show the type of problem you

WRT your question, it appears that you are calling getBoxObjectFor and
this is causing an error. The error message you've posted indicates
that you should instead use getBoundingClientRect. You should follow
this advice because:
1) it is worth a shot.
2) it is actually good advice ( I guarantee it).

But the thing is, i'm not using either of those functions. I thought
maybe a toolbar was and I shut all the add ons and toolbars for
firefox off, but the same problem exists. Something external is
calling this function. It doesn't exist anywhere in my code, and I
have no idea what its for.

Maybe that you're using a firefox extension that cause that error.

That's exactly what I thought, so I turned them all off. Still got
the errors. But then i restarted my computer, and the error has gone
away.

Still, I've seen this error on many other pages. So I would still
like to know exactly where its coming from.

Turning it off will make it go away as well.

Look here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340571

Mozilla's getBoxObjectFor() was never meant to be exposed for general
use; but it slipped out, and sites started to use it. Now that the cat's
out of the bag, the Mozilla devs can't simply remove the method without
breaking a lot of sites (among them Google Calendar). So they've decided
to issue a warning in later versions of FF3. This is what you're seeing
in Firebug.

In *your* case, I'd say the call was probably issued in MooTools.
Checking... bingo:
http://mootools.lighthouseapp.com/pr...-is-deprecated

The discussion on Bugzilla also mentions Dojo, YUI, Plone, and MochiKit.
