Fixes #5634
This pull request seeks to resolve an issue where previewing, closing the preview, and then proceeding to update a post in Firefox will cause the editor to crash. This is because we attempt to set the preview popup window to the updated URL if it is still open after the post is updated:
gutenberg/editor/components/post-preview-button/index.js
Lines 44 to 45 in ba7159e
This issue primarily impacts Firefox, where the window reference of
this.previewWindow
still exists even after the popup has been closed. The changes here resolve the issue by ensuring that the value is unset if the popup is closed.Testing instructions:
Repeat testing instructions from #5634 . Note that the error would only have occurred when, after step 2, you return to the post by closing the popup window. This should work in both Firefox and in your preferred browser.
