Comment (by mcs):

 On OSX, the patch seems to fix the problem of this ticket (e10s off).
 However, after I cancel from the prompt that is presented by Torbutton the
 page is left in the loading state (spinner still going inside the tab
 area). This is a nuisance but probably something we can live with for now.

 A much worse problem is that when e10s is enabled this patch causes the
 main browser process to crash due to an assertion failure (I am testing
 with a debug build). I will attach a stack, but if we cannot find a
 solution for #21766 we should consider skipping the prompt if e10s is
 enabled.
