Browser-laptop: Extension popups empty and transparent on first click after Brave restart

[echosa]

Description

When I open or restart Brave, then click on the Bitwarden icon, the resulting extension popup is transparent. This seems to only happen on the first click of each browser restart. A second click fixes the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Bitwarden. (You might need to actually set up the account/login. Not sure.0
2. Restart Brave.
3. Click on the Bitwarden icon.

Actual result:

Yeah I have noticed this issue as well on Bitwarden and I double checked Metamask and the same issue is there just like Jonathan said 😅

Let's discuss this on Tuesday. Seems like we should prioritize. @bsclifton @kjozwiak @bbondy @diracdeltas

Couldn't find instructions on how to report a build properly, so feel free to steer me to that for more info, but I was dealing with having MetaMask & other extensions be totally unusable and the only one (MetaMask) I cared about being broken.

Disabling the following settings in my Mac running High Sierra 10.13.5 allowed at least MetaMask to render and be usable again, so I haven't done testing outside this:

• Disable Google Wildvine
• Disable Adobe Flash Support
• Disable PDF Viewer extension

I have an inkling the former two didn't matter as much as the third, but that's a hunch. Hopefully this helps in some fashion. I would test around this in particular. Let me know if I can provide more detail and what.

[bridiver]

this is not a regression, is there a reason this is blocking c68? Chromium updates should normally only be blocked for regressions.

[bridiver]

fyi - this issue is as old as extension popups on Brave

[davidtemkin]

We need this for our MetaMask-integrated local ETH wallet, which is shipping in the C68 release. Can't launch with first click on MetaMask showing a blank frame when it is part of the marketing announcement.

[petemill]

WebView is correctly in the DOM with a valid src attribute. Hiding and showing via CSS is working correctly, so this may be solvable with a workaround from browser-laptop instead of muon.

[LaurenWags]

@petemill is additional testing needed other than the steps to reproduce?

@laurenwags I think it’s wise to enable all extensions that have pop ups and check they each open and display correctly, on each desktop platform.
