Bug Description

device: bq-aquaris m10 tablet (frieza)
os: ubuntu 15.04 OTA-11

steps to reproduce:
1) start fb webapp and click an external link for instance a youtube link.
The links opens of course within the webapp oxide container; not the webbrowser-app itself.

2) Then, in the upper right corner, use the icon to break out of the webapp and continue viewing the link in the actuall webbrowser-app. Then stop/kill the webbrowser app by swiping it up or down in the carousel.

3) Start the facebook webapp again. it hangs on the spinner indefinitely. retrying is no use. Only a reboot (or presumably a clearing of app cache) can fix this.

these steps are reproducible 100%

i will try and add a video to show the steps.

Thank you for the video, I haven't been able to repro it on an MX4 or BQ, but it seems like an instance of https://code.launchpad.net/~abreu-alexandre/oxide/fix-crash-scroll-message-handler/+merge/292321
