On my user account page a line of JavaScript causes the presentation of nearby mappers' locations to fail in Firefox 3.5:

Error: missing } after property list
Source File: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Pink%20Duck
Line: 106, Column: 36
Source Code: nearest.push( { 'display_name' : 'P'vel', 'home_lat' : 52.6284207603974, 'home_lon' : 1.2753455876755 } );

This can be fixed by backslash-escaping apostrophes in user names when building the Javascript code. This would also help mitigate a security risk.
