1704084 - Extension-Toolbox shows errors from all extensions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1410932

(WebExtensions :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Nerixyz]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install an extension [1] that often errors (e.g. Bitwarden)
2. Anstall any other extension [2] (to open the toolbox)
3. Inspect the extnesion [2] (in about:debugging)
4. Open some websites, switch tabs - get the extension [1] to error/reject promises

Actual results:

In the toolbox that inspected extension [2], errors from extension [1] are shown. In the case of Bitwarden (as extension [1]) I often get Unchecked lastError value: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. when switching tabs.

Expected results:

Only errors from the inspected extension should be shown.

Hello,

I reproduced the issue on the latest Nightly (89.0a1/20210411210108), Beta (88.0b9/20210408190318) and Release (87.0/20210318103112) under Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, using Bitwarden and uBlock Origin.

uBlock’s console shows the Unchecked lastError value: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. which stems from Bitwarden, as described above.
