So I have been using Icecate for 10 days. It is frustrating because it
does crash every other hour on some JS load. The error always looks like

Extension error: SyntaxError: in strict mode code, functions may be declared 
only at top level or immediately within another function 
resource://gre/modules/ExtensionUtils.jsm -> 
moz-extension://73353d04-3869-453b-8b9b-f71ceaae6e26/polyfill.js 63

I only have noscript and adblock plus installed and running. Any ideas?

I know I can file it as a bug, and we should if there is no idea. But
I think I'll go to FF again if this persists.
