/* Auto-recovery module.
 * This module aims to catch fatal browser initialization errors and either
 * automatically correct likely causes from them, or automatically restarting
 * the browser in safe mode. This is hooked into the browser's "onload"
 * event because it can be assumed that at that point, everything must
 * have been properly initialized already.
