 Fixed.

 I've modified the patch to improve error handling. In the case of an
 unrecognized key, it should gracefully handle the error and will no longer
 disable the tor circuit display. (The API functions `sendCommand` and
 `getInfo` in tor-control-port.js have been changed to return Promises, and
 tor-circuit-display.js now uses Firefox's built-in
 [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules/Task.jsm Task.jsm] module to
 handle async requests to the control port.)

 I now check for the presence of gBrowser.tabContainer so this TypeError
 shouldn't happen any more.
