Why is my Javascript console showing a 404 error for a file called “null” on a clean WordPress install?

Turns out this was being caused by a Chrome browser extension. I use an extension installed called “CrxMouse Chrome Gestures.” This extension is the cause of this error. I have turned off the extension and notified the author of this bug.
