As a side note, this error, when it occurs, affects multiple extensions recognizing the wrong tab at the same time, it doesn't just happen to one extension!

        Vlad Please note that I closed the yandex.com tab using a gesture, and you can see that the extension all recognized the wrong tab after I closed it, rendering it all useless, and refreshing the page didn't help either!

            This also happens on desktop. I'm seeing it with 1password and with DarkReader.

                  sukru It's not just the extensions you're talking about, but if this error occurs after closing the tab, it will cause all extensions installed by Orion to recognize the wrong page

                      Extensions such as uBlock Origin and EditThisCookie don't work on new tabs after closing a tab.
                      Like a extension seems working on a website in a closed tab.

                      Steps to reproduce:

                      1. Open a tab and browse any websites.
                      2. Open a extension popup and remember the website where extension is working.
                      3. Close the popup and close the tab.
                      4. Open a new tab and browse another website.
                      5. Open the extension popup again and check website where extension is working.

                      What happened to me on step 5:
                      I've installed both extensions at Firefox Addons.

                      On uBlock Origin:
                      It showed me a URL which was on a closed tab.
                      Also, ads were not blocked.

                      On EditThisCookie:
                      It showed me cookies which was on a closed tab.

                      It happened like:
                      On older tab: I browsed 'youtube.com' and extension showed 'youtube.com'
                      On a new tab after closing tab: I browsed 'duckduckgo.com' but extension showed 'youtube.com'

                      Extensions should work on current browsing website even after closing tab.
                      uBlock Origin should block ads.
                      EditThisCookie should show cookies on current browsing website.
                      I've tested the extensions and they worked on Chrome, Firefox (Windows) and Kiwi Browser (Android), perfectly.

                        Edit: Here is the screenshot of ublock popup

                        A URL in red area doesn't match.
