What version are you running?
1.7.17

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
any page, for example login page : <site>/account/login/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to the login page
2. open a code inspector (for example developer tools in Chrome)
3. check the console

What is the expected output? 
no errors in the console

What do you see instead?
Uncaught ReferenceError: Backbone is not defined base.min.9651809ef5d5.js:1
(anonymous function) base.min.9651809ef5d5.js:1
(anonymous function)

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Ubuntu 12.04, Chrome (Version 30.0.1599.101), Firefox (24.0)

Please provide any additional information below.
The root of the problem is in the 3rdparty.min.*.js file that is loaded in the page. In lines 35 and 36 there is a comment split in two:
35--> beforeSend.call(this, xhr, o);        };        $.ajax(s);    }//
36--> private function for handling file uploads(hat tip to YAHOO!)
This prevents the 3rdparty JavaScript stuff to be loaded and/or instantiated.
To solve the problem I fixed this file by hand (I didn't dig back to find how this file is generated) by moving the "//" to the comment line:
35--> beforeSend.call(this, xhr, o);        };        $.ajax(s);    }
36--> //private function for handling file uploads(hat tip to YAHOO!)

We released a 1.7.18 shortly after. Please upgrade to that version.
