Clicking on "+" icon in the tab bar results in this exception.

Loading completed: true
Uncaught exceptions:
 - TypeError: this.isNewTabWithTypeAllowed is not a function. (In 'this.isNewTabWithTypeAllowed(tabClass.Type)', 'this.isNewTabWithTypeAllowed' is undefined) (at Main.js:494:84)

I no longer understand what's going on — an exception is thrown because this.isNewTabWithTypeAllowed is not a function, yet, hovering over it shows that it is clearly a function.

[Nikita Vasilyev]

This happens when WebInspector._updateNewTabButtonState gets called from
listenersForThisEvent[i].listener.call(listenersForThisEvent[i].thisObject, event);

this should work here but it is a bug in JSC right now that lexical bound this is not working in arrow functions. I'd vote for converting this to a bound anon function instead.

Please add a fixme with the bugzilla for the JSC fix as well.
