I wrap the event assignment inside a try catch to prevent browsers that don't support this event from throwing an error (such as IE).

Here is the code:

// Fix for firefox bfcache:
try {
    window.addEventListener('pagehide', PageHideHandler, false);
} catch (e) { }

//Fires when a page is unloaded:
function PageHideHandler() {
    //re-enable disabled submit buttons:
    $('.js_submit').attr('disabled', false);
}
