As of [1], String.prototype.includes is one of the few ES6 string functions
that the Firefox 38 engine did not yet support. However, Ff 38 is obsolete for
more than a year now, and newer firefox releases support the function
(Extended Support Release 45 was in March 2016).
Yet GNU Icecat seems to have moved to 45 only in Dec 2016, and on Windows and
Mac it is still on 38.8.0 [2]. Since you are on windows, I guess you are out
of luck for the moment.

You could bug the IceCat maintainers to hurry with their windows release, or
maybe you (or even CETEICEAN upstream) could use indexOf() instead of
includes() according to [3].
