Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#[hCaptcha]_There_was_an_error_in_your_callback., performance.measure is causing errors in Firefox 102. No one else seems to be using performance.measure, so we should rework our code here to be compatible with older browsers.
The call is being done from ext.confirmEdit.hCaptcha/utils.js.

https://caniuse.com/?search=performance.measure says support exists for it in Firefox 102
For clarity we do not use the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance/measure feature so AFAICS it should be supported in Firefox 102. The error that was reported was that the entire performance.measure method is removed
Having looked into this further with @kostajh it seems that the return value of performance.measure was not in place until Firefox 103. Using performance.getEntriesByName has better backwards compatibility ( https://caniuse.com/?search=performance.getEntriesByName ).
Change #1236269 had a related patch set uploaded (by Harroyo-wmf; author: Harroyo-wmf):
[mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit@master] hcaptcha: Provide a fallback if performance.now() is not available
Change #1236269 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/ConfirmEdit@master] hcaptcha: Provide a fallback if performance.now() is not available
I've verified that using an old Firefox version (v102.0.1) to load hCaptcha in auth.wikimedia.org triggers this error (currently at 1.46.0-wmf.17 as per https://versions.toolforge.org/).
I'll check again once 1.46.0-wmf.18 (which contains this fix) is deployed.
