by

The ECMAScript 4 specification was originally going to add support for TCO, but it was dropped:

No more tail calls in JavaScript?

As far as I know, no widely-available implementations of JavaScript currently do automatic TCO. This may be of use to you, though:

Tail Call Optimization

Essentially, using the accumulator pattern accomplish the same effect.
