Unable to write or edit styles while about:home is open

[quilloss]

Firefox 50.0a2
Stylish 2.0.7
Clean profile with only Stylish installed.

When the about:home is open:

1. I can't open the style editor from about:addons by clicking Write New Style.
2. Directly navigating to about:stylish-edit works.

Closing about:home solves the issue.

Browser Console:

Does the stylishCommon.focusWindow function need to access any remote tabs?
If it does not the following should work.

https://github.com/JasonBarnabe/stylish/blob/master/content/common.js#L73
Replace if (browsers[i].currentURI.schemeIs("about")) { with if (!browsers[i].isRemoteBrowser && browsers[i].currentURI.schemeIs("about")) {

It looks work at least for now.

Replace if (browsers[i].currentURI.schemeIs("about")) { with if (!browsers[i].isRemoteBrowser && browsers[i].currentURI.schemeIs("about")) {

thank you! this worked perfectly for me on Firefox Nightly 52.0a1 (2016-10-03) (64-bit) / Stylish 2.0.7

I experience the exact same error with Firefox 53 / Stylish 2.0.7, only that I don't have about:home or any other remote about: tabs open (I think).

Is there a reason why this still hasn't been fixed? It doesn't seem to difficult ...

As a workaround, one can open about:stylish-edit?id=<id> manually of course. To get the <id>, open the User Styles tab on about:addons, press Ctrl+Shift+C, select the style to open and use the value attribute on the closest richlistitem.
