Description

[Thomas Wisniewski [:twisniewski]]

Healow's i18n is a synchronous API, which waits for a synchronous XMLHttpRequest on its first call. But for subsequent calls, it waits in an infinite loop until the XHR has completed. This will never happen in Firefox, as it's stuck in the infinite loop, and the code after the XHR cannot run.

We can work around this by just making sure it doesn't get stuck in that loop, which may trigger the XHR to happen twice due to them disabling caching on those JSON files, but that's a better outcome than getting stuck in an infinite loop (the files are very small).
