After updating Angular JS 1.4.x to Angular 2, Selenium tests can't run anymore via grunt-protractor-runner on Firefox. As soon as AngularJS is loaded, the following error occurs:

var template = new Error(this.message);

Chrome and Internet Explorer work fine.
The problem appears with the following components:
- Firefox version 38 and 42
- grunt-protractor-runner 2.1.0 and 3.0.0 (which uses selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar)
- protractor 2.5.1 and 3.0.0
The following node modules are in use (package.json):
{
"name": "...",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "Gruntfile.js",
"dependencies": {
"jasmine-reporters": "^2.0.7",
"protractor-video-recorder": "^0.1.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"grunt-protractor-runner": "^3.0.0",
"jasmine-spec-reporter": "^2.4.0",
"lodash": "^3.10.1",
"protractor-console": "^2.0.0"
},
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC"
}
There is no code part in the Selenium test, which can be localized to produce the error. The error appears just at the moment when AngularJS is loaded.
