Assume, atleast a dozen tabs have webpages loaded in them. My focus is on tab  8
and I right click on tab 1 and issue the command close other tabs without
bringing tab 1 to focus. This crashes the browser.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open atleast a dozen tabs with webpages loaded in all of them
2.set focus on tab 8 or any other tab but 1
3.right click the first tab and issue the command close other tab

Actual Results:  
the browser hangs; the warning "you are trying to close x tabs" appears but does
not respond

Expected Results:  
legitimately, closed all the other tabs.
