If the attached webextension is installed, clicking "Disable" on the about:addons details page closes the tab.

STR:
1. Install the attached webextension (don't use temporary loading).
2. Go to about:addons and double click the entry.
3. Click "Disable".

Expected results:
The tab does not close.

Actual results:
The tab closes.

This worked in Fx47 and is broken in Fx48b5.
Tried this in both the FX48b5 and the latest build of Firefox nightly and can still confirm the problem. 

You can still disable the add-on if you click the disable without double clicking to show the addition information. It only seems to close the tab on viewing the further information and trying to disable it.

Bug 1285493: Add-on Manager should not be closed when an add-on with options_ui is disabled.

I don't think I'm qualified to review this, my understanding of the relationships between docshell/window/browser/etc is too shallow...

Maybe call this xulWindow?

I was able to reproduce the initial issue on Firefox 50.0a1 (2016-07-08) under Windows 10 64-bit.

Verified fixed on Firefox 51.0a1 (2016-08-31) and Firefox 50.0a2 (2016-09-01) under Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit. The tab is no longer closed while disabling the add-on.

I’ve also noticed that the “Enable/Disable” and “Remove” buttons change their position when the add-on is enabled and disabled back: http://screencast.com/t/c7ga5q2uF6x
Should we be concerned about this behaviour?
