• Is this an issue in the currently released version?
  Yes.
• Can this issue be consistently reproduced?

Yes. I believe the errors are not shown when it's a completely new instance.

• Extra QA steps (for macOS):

  1. Run from Terminal: /Applications/Brave.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave

• Any related issues:

  • Browser crash when Brave Payments is enabled #7911

@brave/qa did anyone experience this problem in 0.18.22?

@brave/qa did anyone experience this problem in 0.18.22?

I managed to reproduce the above exception pretty easily with both 0.18.14 and 0.18.22 builds. Because this is something that a typical user wouldn't do on a regular basis, moving this out of the 0.18.x Hotfix milestone for now pending triage.

Using the STR from the original comment, reproduced the issue using the following builds:

Brave 0.18.14 rev ad92d02
Muon 4.3.6
libchromiumcontent 60.0.3112.78

Brave 0.18.22 | rev d850e28
Muon 4.3.9
libchromiumcontent 60.0.3112.90

@kjozwiak thank you for checking it out

I ran into the above error today while using 0.19.121 when going through https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/milestone/91... I basically had 2-3 windows opened with about 10 tabs in each window. When I closed Brave, I received the following error via the terminal:

An uncaught exception occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception:

Unfortunately this doesn't happen every often and can't get solid STR.
