William, as suggested, not sure if js purely by itself is the problem.  
What's IN the error / warnings is important.  I do NOT claim to be an 
expert on the warning msgs in FF error console.  By any chance, have you 
tried the latest Tor browser bundle, to see if this problem is related 
something like Torbutton or some thing to do w/ Tor pkg vs TBB?  You 
don't have to install TBB -unzip to folder or USB drive, etc.  Just (for 
now) don't run TBB & Tor pkg at same time.  See if TBB allows viewing 
the email msgs.

You didn't say if started FF in safe mode (disable all addons / 
plugins), then started Tor?  Maybe not here, but addons can cause lots 
of problems.

It's been a while since I played w/ settings in Torbutton, but many have 
run into pages occasionally that don't work w/ Tor.  Sometimes error is 
discovered - sometimes not.
