Tab context menu is broken on latest FF

[AndrasCserna]

Describe the bug
Since the latest FF update, switching tab groups when "Show context menu on tabs" is enabled leads to repeated error popups.

When the option is first toggled on, the context menu appears on the currently open tabs, and works correctly. But when switching to a new group, errors are thrown, and the context menu does not get added to the tabs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have multiple tab groups
2. Enable "Show context menu on tabs"
3. Switch to a different tab group
4. See error

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS and version: Windows 10 22H2
• Firefox version: Firefox Developer Edition 136.0b1 (64-bit)
• Simple Tab Groups version: 5.2

This sounds like it might be fixed with #1250 which was implemented as a fix for an STG crash #1242

Maybe you could try if that Pull Request fixed the issue for you?

From what it looks like this repository hasn't gotten any new commits merged in 4+ months now... Hopefully, they will find some time to attend to these recent major issues before those Firefox changes make it into the stable release branch.

Confirmed, it's the same issue, and the linked PR fixes it.

Noob question: How can I apply this patch? I'm afraid we won't see the official version for some time and the error is quite annoying.

Please keep any further discussion of this issue in #1242 instead of this (closed) duplicate.

I'll probably end up writing a little guide for people to help them use the version with the fix from the pull request...
Unfortunately there's no proper and easy way to just use a "patched up" addon like that, since Firefox requires addons to be signed for every single change.

More details will be in my post over there.
