This relates to, and maybe a duplicate of <https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/127172> Javascript error on answers.launchpad.net. The error relates to looking for elements of 'foldable' class.

So the offending line is:
    var portlets = getElementsByTagAndClassName('div', 'portlet', 'portlets');

I guess we should do a manual getElementById('portlets') first, and return early if it doesn't exist. As I have rewritten this bit of javascript in my sticky-portlets branch, I may as well fix it there.
