Segmentation fault on https://www.briskoda.net/forums/*

Using 33.9.0.1 anything under https://www.briskoda.net/forums/ consistently causes a segmentation fault.

For example https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/5 ... lide-pins/
loads fine using palemoon-33.8.0.linux-x86_64-avx2_gtk2
but immediately crashes using palemoon-33.9.0.1.linux-x86_64-avx2_gtk2
also immediately crashes on a different machine using palemoon-33.9.0.1.linux-x86_64-sse2_gtk2

Double checked in --safe-mode.

This is caused by an issue in the color-mix CSS code that can cause stack overflows due to recursion. This will be backed out in the upcoming release to prevent issues. See Issue #2854 (UXP)
Unfortunately this code by one of the University students was implemented incorrectly and they don't seem to be available anymore to look into it so there's no quick resolution for this unless someone else can have a look.
