port.onDisconnect is not fired when connection is broken

Open g-sam opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

browser.runtime.connect port object's onDisconnect event should be fired when a connected tab is closed and in various other circumstances, but isn't. It may work when port.disconnect() is called explicitly (haven't tested).

I found a few other reports of this issue:

The following may be a related bug or simply divergent behaviour: in Chrome, port.postMessage() on a disconnected port throws an error. In Safari, it does nothing.
