Crash when clicking on the Brave or Brave Rewards icons with `extensions-toolbar-menu` enabled

Test plan

Description

Brave crashes whenever I click on the Brave or Brave Rewards icons on the address bar. brave://crashes is empty.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Brave
  2. Click on the Brave or Brave Rewards icon

Actual result:

Version/Channel Information:

I have not tried it on any other channels. However, it happened on the previous version I got from the https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com PPA, possibly on even earlier versions, but I haven’t been keeping track of how often it is updated. It has been happening for a few weeks now.

Other Additional Information:

  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields?

I cannot disable Brave Shields due to this issue

  • Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Rewards?

I cannot disable Brave Rewards due to this issue

  • Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome?

Does not apply to Chrome, this is Brave-specific functionality

I can confirm and reproduce that, when the #extensions-toolbar-menu flag is enabled, attempting to access either Shields or Rewards via icon in address bar will crash the browser. I have a +1 here and will drop in others i’ve seen: https://community.brave.com/t/pressing-the-shield-button-crashes-brave/81943/3
