Hello,
I am working on my first extension and I’m running into this strange problem.
The crash seems to be somewhat reliably triggered by me 1. clicking the toolbar icon, bringing the popup up, and then 2. hovering over the toolbar icon to bring up the little tooltip. The entire browser locks up and I have to ctrl-c web-ext and then start it again. It doesn’t happen every time I do this.
The popup dom consists of just a few lines of text and a button. I don’t have any action listeners yet.
In addition to the popup I have a content-script that adds a sort of pop-up div to the main website area dom, and makes some changes to the CSS. I don’t have any stability issues with this aspect of the extension.
When the freeze happens there is no extra output in the browser console nor the regular console.
I am completely stumped and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I should specify that the browser I am writing the extension for is Firefox, and also that I have not been able to trigger the crash after commenting out all javascript code that makes changes to the dom.
