It can be done by activating the Develop menu (which is disabled by default) and picking the Show Error Console option (similar to Tools menu > Error Console option in Firefox).



To enable the Develop menu in the Menu bar, select Edit > Preferences and check the "Develop menu in menu bar" option in the Advanced tab.
