Oh, it might load window level frame scripts again, I guess.

I've been trying to reproduce this issue for a while. In my experience this is not the case, swapping docshells do not trigger frame-scripts to be reloaded. I tried browser.ownerDocument.defaultView.messageManager level frame-scripts and browser.messageManager as well. It seems to be that the reason of those test failures were something else... I'm leaning toward won't fix this bug, but want to ask Tim about it first, maybe he knows how to reproduce it.

TBH, I can't quite remember the exact problem I had when I worked on that other bug. We can file it again if we ever hit it again I guess?

I agree, let's do that.
