1240734 - running the full Addon-SDK test suite with e10s enabled raises "TypeError: this._messageManager is undefined" exceptions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1232643

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Luca Greco [:rpl] [:luca] [:lgreco]]

STR:
- run all the Addon-SDK tests using mochitest with the e10s flag:

     ./mach mochitest addon-sdk --e10s

Expected result:
- mochitest should be able to complete its run when e10s is enabled

Actual result:

- The following test files raise the "TypeError: this._messageManager is undefined" and they fail due to timeout:
  - test-tab-observer.js
  - test-tab.js
  - test-windows-common.js
  - test-private-browsing.js
  - test-test-utils.js
  - test-ui-action-button.js
  - test-ui-toolbar.js
  - test-url.js

No exception is raised if each of the above test files is executed alone.
