1695218 - Debugger pauses on thrown exception in blackboxed source

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Originally reported here - https://github.com/firefox-devtools/debugger/issues/7344

Someone on IRC ran into an issue where:

• they had a webextension script blackboxed
• the Pause on exception checkbox turned on

An exception thrown by the blackboxed webextension script was pausing the debugger, which can be a bit annoying (even more for a webextension, because it's likely to not be your code)

If that can be of any help: I noticed it when using Firefox 64.0b11 (64 bits) with the LastPass extension.
I am indeed interested by exceptions in my code, not the web extensions.
