Live-reloading doesn't work for extension that overrides the New Tab #15

I am making an extension that overrides the standard "New Tab" page. It seems like the live-reloading doesn't work on Chrome latest (v59.0).

When I run: npm run chrome-watch the page refreshes but shows an error in the console:

Then, page crashes and falls back to the original "New Tab" page. I need to close the current tab and open a new one. Then - the extension works (plus my changes are present).

It doesn't work on Firefox (v54.0) either. When I run: npm run firefox-watch and I do a change - the tab with the extension closes and I need to manually open it again.
