Did you check on the =E2=80=9Cabout:home=E2=80=9D page whether other things=
 were
enabled?  Also, is the JS error above fatal?  JS is designed to keep
going in spite of errors (really!), so it could be that the thing above
doesn=E2=80=99t matter.

FWIW, I=E2=80=99ve been using IceCat (actually mostly Conkeror, but it=E2=
=80=99s the
same thing) for a long time and I=E2=80=99ve rarely experienced crashes.  I=
=E2=80=99m
surprised the experience is that bad for you.  Is this on GuixSD?

IceCat is essentially the same code as FireFox modulo branding, add-ons,
and a few trivial things.  I don=E2=80=99t see how IceCat itself could be
blamed=E2=80=94the add-ons maybe, the way it is packaged in Guix perhaps, b=
