windows.create() promise will never be fulfilled

See original GitHub issue

Snippet from this example: https://github.com/mdn/webextensions-examples/blob/master/window-manipulator/window.js#L28

let creating = browser.windows.create(createData);
  creating.then(() => {
  console.log("The normal window has been created");
});

I cant see console.log message while i am inspecting this extension.

I only see such messages:

Navigated to chrome://devtools/content/shared/webextension-fallback.html
Webconsole context has changed

It seems that this promise will never be fullfiled. Looks like a bug in WebExtensions API because examples from MDN don’t work too.

@rebloor I just closed Bug 1593504 as invalid because this behavior is expected, but we should also fix the window-manipulator example accordingly, see:

Thanks @chrisdavidmills, I’ll probably go for duplicating as I would prefer to have a single definitive list.
