This is for the PasswordMaker extension, which has evolved into a Roboform-like utility.

How is recursion any less performant or more sluggish than repeatedly calling a function within a
loop (as in your code)?

Actually, it is called from a browser.xul overlay :(

Because I didn't know about content.frames :)

Is the SpiderMonkey compiler capable of function inlining? If not, I would suggest that code
duplication might actually lead to faster code in many cases (ignoring the fact that the one-time
compile may take longer as code size increases).
