Description

Sometimes after an error in my js code, I see endless loading animation on Vue tab https://i.imgur.com/QSE2Hvv.png. When I close devtools and open it again, the tab is disappeared. Sometimes I'm able to restore the tab by opening the extension popup ("Extensions" button -> "Vue.js devtools"). But most of the time I have to restart Firefox. Is there a way to restart the extension without restarting the browser? For instance, execute a js code in extension context in console (in about:debugging -> "inspect" on the extension)? I know that it's better to investigate the issue (it doesn't write errors in console), but I don't have time for now, and I want to find a workaround.

Firefox 142.0.1
Vue devtools 7.7.7

Research direction

Reproduce the endless loading state in Firefox 142.0.1 with Vue Devtools 7.7.7 after a JavaScript error, then inspect the extension through about:debugging. Compare reopening DevTools, using the Extensions menu, and restarting Firefox, while checking the extension console for errors. Done means identifying a repeatable recovery path or a fix that keeps the Vue tab available without restarting the browser.
