Test Plan

Test Plan available under #13234

Description

After using version 0.20.20 for some time my new tabs started showing up as blank (they're set to display the Dashboard per about:preferences) and the about:brave page didn't show information.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use brave normally for some time (15-30 minutes maybe?)

Actual result:
New tab does not display dashboard, about:brave does not display information:
odd-new-tab

Note: restart resolves this issue.

Expected result:
New tab should display per about:preferences (in my case show Dashboard) and about:brave should contain information.

Reproduces how often:
Unknown

I've had this happen on 0.19.x before at least once... closing and relaunching fixed it for me

@LaurenWags has this happened to you more than once?

I've been using 0.20.x for a while and haven't been able to reproduce this ☹️ Until we have more steps, I'd like to propose that we leave this open without a milestone attached. What do you think, @LaurenWags?

I think that sounds good @bsclifton - I've removed the milestone until we can determine additional information.

+1 from @mandar-brave on 0.20.42. Also seeing that when trying to access release notes when about:brave is like the above, they result in 404.

This was causing an error to be thrown for every subsequent action, and no more state updates to be sent to windows, resulting in multiple issues.
It was also causing an error dump to be generated upon every action, thus halting the browser at those times, including any audio/video (and creating stutters).

Fix #13079 (main test case with STR)
Fix #12333
Fix #12828
Fix #13157
Address #13087 but this is a broad issue - this change will fix a hard issue, whereas that refers to general slowness.
