Bug Description

The Angular client whitescreens on Firefox with the following console message:

SyntaxError: invalid regular expression flag s

The culprit is the HtmlToTxt service introduced in bug 1830391, which includes a regex string replacement that uses the dotAll (/s) operator. However, dotAll, while an accepted ECMAScript proposal, is not yet supported by Firefox

I'm annoyed that I apparently didn't load anything under /eg2/ in Firefox when testing 1830391. I've verified the breakage though, and the fix. Applying the new test sans fix does die loudly in FirefoxHeadless as one would hope. Given the simplicity of the change and the significance of the breakage I've signed off and pushed it to master and rel_3_4 to match 1830391. If 1830391 is backported to 3.3.x (which hasn't happened yet) this fix will need to follow.

Thanks Galen!
