Frame URLs can change - a different URL can load into the same frame. So we
should *always* call recordFrame() for main_frame and sub_frame requests. Also,
the URL of your newly added frame should be inherited from the parent frame
(that's what our Firefox version does from about:blank anda data: frames),
setting it to the request made is wrong.

So I would actually keep the original code here and add an else clause:

else if (details.tabId in frames && !(details.frameId in frames[details.tabId]))
  recordFrame(details.tabId, details.frameId, details.parentFrameId, null);

And in recordFrame(), instead of your change:

if (frameUrl == null)
{
  if (tabId in frames && parentFrameId in frames[tabId])
    frameUrl = frames[tabId][parentFrameId].url;
  else
    return;  // We cannot do anything meaningful here
}

 
   if (type == "main_frame")
     return {};
 
   // Type names match Mozilla's with main_frame and sub_frame being the only exceptions.
   if (type == "sub_frame")
     type = "SUBDOCUMENT";
   else
     type = type.toUpperCase();
