There seems to be a race condition when trying to create a tab in a window that is closing (which ultimately results in a crash). Obviously, you should probably not do that. But because it is possible, I thought I should bring it to someone's attention.
I've attached a simple test extension (unpacked, zipped) which exhibits this behavior. To test, simply do the following:
- unzip and install the extension - open a new window - navigate to some site (optional) - close the tab
(Warning, will likely *crash* your browser, so save your work first, backup important data, etc., just in case)
