Firefox tracks tail recursion support here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=723959 And I just found a JS library which turns functions into tail recursive ones with 1-4x time overhead: http://glat.info/pub/tailopt-js/ So it might be possible to check for recursion support and just insert this as a fallback for browsers which do not support proper tail recursion (i.e. by implementing it as an identity function in those which support proper tail recursion).
