Right-clicking and selecting "Open link in a new tab" crashes when the link is in an iframe

Reported by bigh...@gmail.com, Jul 19 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.104 Safari/5F4185

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a page that contains content and links in an iframe (for example, www.openmailbox.org email application shows emails in an iframe) 
2. Right click on a link and select  "Open link in a new tab"
3. Tab has now crashed and you should see "Aw, Snap!" page

What is the expected behavior?
Tab should not crash

What went wrong?
This started happening about 2-3 weeks ago. I am not 100% sure but I think this has something to do with links inside frames because tabs don't crash when I right click and open pages from non-iframe pages.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Just one tab

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: stable
OS Version: x86_64
Flash Version: 

Interestingly, it does not happen if I Ctrl+click on a link. It only happens when I right click and open the page in a new tab that way. And once you ctrl+click on a link, subsequent right clicking and "open in new tab" won't crash the tab.

Tried the link provided and it is showing the following message while trying to register "Please try again later, the registrations are disabled at the moment."

Request you to please take a look into it. 

Thanks.!

Hi,

Here's another link that exhibits the same behavior and no registration in necessary:

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_iframe.asp

If you scroll a little bit inside of an iframe, you'll find the first link "Start learning HTML now!" and if you right click it and select "Open link in a new tab", it will crash.

I've attached the images.

This crash behavior has definitely something to do with links inside of the iframes. This does not happen on any other links I've encounteres. It's also a fairly new behavior.

Just tried with the example steps provided in comment#2 and unable to reproduce it using chrome version 59.0.3071.115 on Ubuntu 14.04, MAC 10.12.5, Windows 10. 

@ bighype: Can you please help us with the crash ID generated from chrome://crashes page.
