I’m got a list of errors that was generated from the Error Console in FF. I’ve done some reading here on exactly what this tool is and how important/priority these errors are as far as “bug fixes”. The css is rendering fine in FF on these particular pages as well as in Safari, Chrome, IE 7/8/9. I’ve gone to several websites (even stackoverflow.com) and it appears that ALL websites have a Long list of ‘warnings’ resulting in the Error Console. I’ve quoted someone who shared my reaction:
“Great info on the ERROR CONSOLE however information for the its own sake is useless unless there is information on how to repair* the specific errors on my LONG LIST. Maybe someone has an answer*.” ~ Jullian

I’m wondering how seriously I should consider this list if the pages are not “broken”, especially since long “warning” lists are common among all websites. Anybody?
In general, if warnings are serious enough that action is required, they would be errors.
Warnings are usually things that the browser thinks might be a mistake but isn’t sure. It’s up to you to make a judgement call on whether or not the warnings should be fixed.
If the warnings are JavaScript related, it would probably be a good idea to fix them. CSS warnings are usually less serious. CSS has so many browser specific quirks and, sometimes, hacks required to get things working that the browser can have a hard time knowing what should be considered “bad”. It’s not uncommon for lots of CSS warnings to appear that can be ignored.
Regardless, you might want to at least look at the warnings before dismissing them. They might reveal something you didn’t think of.
