 Replying to [comment:31 mcs]:

 > > I cherry-picked this patch onto `tor-browser-52.1.1esr-7.0-1-build1`
 (`454a231f2b76a8857748d93f666bb93199f4b963`), built tor-browser.git, and
 added NoScript and torbutton. The patch worked for me (with e10s active)
 -- I saw the confirmation prompt and was able to cancel or download files
 on Linux. I used gdb to check the return values of Suspend() and Resume()
 and they both returned NS_OK.

 This was a debug build. I can try an optimized build, but it sounds like
 you have maybe tracked down the issue in comment:32.

 > I am creating a debug build now with the patch applied to the tip of
 tor-browser-52.1.1esr-7.0-1 (7bbd69956bd1a30051599a1dd4bf615bc40e55e8, aka
 tor-browser-52.1.1esr-7.0-1-build2). I want to be sure to test with the
 #22254 fix in place. But you must have fixed that manually?

 Actually, I didn't. I don't know offhand why I didn't run into that
 problem. But I was able to manually install torbutton and NoScript. I
 didn't do a full rbm build though.
