The Error Console is per instance. Of course one instance can comprise
multiple browser windows (and mail and chat and ...).

You could use one of the Docked Error Console extensions to embed the
Error Console at the bottom of each window.

The Webconsole in Firefox 9 might be a better use case for you as it is
per window and shows network traffic as well.

You might like to install my Console² drop in replacement for the native
error console:
<http://console2.mozdev.org/#C_latest_dev>
It has powerfull search and filter abilities. Screenshots:
<http://console2.mozdev.org/screenshots.html>

The current versions incorporate an older extension Console Filter.
<http://console2.mozdev.org/cf/index.html>
You can use a sort of google lite syntax to filter what you want to see
or not see.
