It is distinctly likely that current CI builds will cause issues. We're
undergoing a *huge* JS transition and forcing JS on while we do it. If you
encounter issues, turn JS off after loading your browser (note it will turn on
again next time the browser loads).

Once the JS situation has calmed a little, we'll allow it to be
Choices-controlled again. Remember, the CI builds are not guaranteed stable by
any means, and as such things like this will happen.

We've already found what we believe to be a bug in UNIXLib and we are
investingating it -- it can cause the browser to segfault and thus vanish
without apparent error.

Sadly I can't give you an ETA on this, though I hope we'll be fairly close to
our goal by the end of next week.

Some of us (myself and Vince included) have been spending a huge amount of our
time on this, we're not leaving you in the lurch; and John-Mark has been
instrumental in helping track down the UNIXLib issue.
