Details

(Whiteboard: [design-decision-needed])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0 Build ID: 20171116100106 Steps to reproduce: Install a WebExtension (in my case, Brief). Open an extension tab (moz-extension://) and pin it. Upgrade the extension to a newer (or even the same) version. Actual results: The pinned tab disappears. Expected results: A tab is a part of the user's context and should not disappear on its own.

We can't just leave the page open since there is a bunch of state that is connected to the old version of the extension that is gone. Perhaps we could try reloading the same URL after the update though.
