I see this on today's windows build (2000072704)

Steps:
Visit the page.
Click on 'Enhanced' to open another window.
Observe that a small window titled' The Comet Cursor' opens up.
Click on 'No' to see the browser crash.
The problem here is the the page triggers a JS error, and the JS error handler
for some reason triggers more JS errors, and the JS error handler... The result
of this is that we overflow the stack while infinitely recurse into
NS_ScriptErrorReporter()...

NS_ScriptErrorReporter() needs reentrancy guards, I hacked that up and the crash
is gone...

spam: Adding crash keyword...

Nominating for beta3, adding the recursion protection is trivial and definitely
worth it for nsbeta3 since it prevents the crash...

Marking nsbeta3+

Adding annotation to the status whiteboard
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3+] → [nsbeta3+] Have hack
Transfering nsbeta3 keywords and marking this as a dup of bug 42670.
