again();

Run above code in a page then close tab/window.

Navigating away e.g. bookmark works correctly.

Loic, promises are not implemented in the JS engine.

Nikhil, you were looking into this sort of thing, right?

Yea, that sort of stalled. I had a patch, but then there seemed to be a compositor bug. :WeirdAl has some new comment on it though. Might be worth looking into a possible cycle. Bug 1058695.

I tried now with Firefox 64 on Linux

The browser is responsive and i was able to close the tab. The memory kept growing though.

In any case, I was able to close the browser and restart it without a problem.
