Thanks for all these reports...

Unfortunately all these issues are unrelated to the shell itself, but I please you guys to report these crashes to the extensions authors (as I already did in various cases, proposing fixes too).

In fact, what I suspect might have changed is the way gjs (or new mozjs) handles the destruction of the actors (as js elements)... Or the shell itself might destroy the extension actors at its request.

When this happens, the extensions should block all the async operations that are happening, so as a generic rule I guess they should connect to the extension actor "destroy" signal and stop all the async operations there.
