Bug 1511237 - Store a TabChild reference in cached docshells,
47 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review 
Currently the object is fetched by calling do_GetInterface on the tree root. Unfortunately, the tree root is nulled out when a DocShell's owning document is put into the BFCache, meaning that TabChild becomes inaccessible.

This patch changes DocShell to instead hold a nsWeakPtr reference to the TabChild which is used for GetTabChild rather than going through the tree root.
Nika, should this block bug 1469429?

no, this is part of me trying to land my PWindowGlobal patches, so it should block those.
