mailto:// and external protocols silently fail inside Chrome extensions

Reported by denis.ko...@gmail.com, Nov 2 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open some web page, select some text, right click and choose "Email 'selected text' to somebody..."

2. Duplicate tab and try to do same: select some text, right click and choose "Email 'selected text' to somebody...".

Other possible ways to replicate the issue:

3. Open a link in new tab from the original page from step #1. Select some text, right click and choose "Email 'selected text' to somebody..."

4. Re-start Chrome without closing tabs. Select some text, right click and choose "Email 'selected text' to somebody..." in one of the re-opened tabs.

What is the expected behavior?
Open default mail client app with the 'subject' set to the selected text from web page.

What went wrong?
Silently fails. Nothing happens.

Able to reproduce the issue on mac 10.11.6 chrome version 54.0.2840.87 and canary with cases 2 (Duplicate tab) and 3 (Open a link in new tab from the original page)

This is a non regression issue existing since M40 to latest canary

Waiting for dev response

Are you the extension developer? If so, have you tried opening a new tab instead of trying to navigate the current tab?

Yes, that could be a 'dirty' workaround, and that is what i use right now in our other extensions, with a timer to close it.
Tnx for suggestion.

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available. If you change it back, also remove the "Hotlist-Recharge-Cold" label.

This sounds like the same root cause of 591985, merging the two.
