Starting with Nightly 17.0a1 (2012-08-24), I can no longer log into gmail if javascript.options.methodjit_always=true. I disabled all my addons when testing.
STR:
1. In about:config, set javascript.options.methodjit_always=true
2. Try to log into gmail.
3. See that gmail is stuck on "Loading" page
4. In about:config, reset javascript.options.methodjit_always to default value false
5. Reload gmail and it loads correctly
I bisected the tinderbox builds between Nightly builds 8-23 and 8-24. I believe the regression is in this merge:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=5650196a8c7d&tochange=198ca6edd0ae
Though this is a valid bug, I recommend not turning that option on. It's meant to aggressively stress test certain aspects of the compiler and at best will just uncover strange bugs and make performance much worse.

I can no longer repro this gmail login problem, even with older builds. I assume the content has changed and no longer hits the problem.
