Out of personal interest
(Not much interest I'll grant you, but it's there):

What (in the context of firefox) is meant by a "Well formed error"? Is it congratulating me?

You get well-formed errors and not so well-formed errors.
The not so well-formed errors are sometimes generated even when an actual error condition hasn't been met, they're usually devoid of any description or have a completely unhelpful message like "00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", and some of them crash your entire operating system. The technical term for them is "spastic errors".

I work
temporarily at least, with big document scanning machines. Sometimes when they've had too many staples to deal with or just fancy being a pain in the bum (It seems) they stop working with the error message "Unable to Enable" Makes me smile, at least.

At a place I used to work at
we had an error message on one of our systems that said "Some sort of error has occurred." It's nice when error messages are specific about what the problem is.

We
had a similar one on an old green screen terminal type setup:

"Something has gone terribly wrong. The code should never get here."

It was slightly more pidgin English than that; it always made me giggle.
