Bug: Background script for React Developer Tools (Chrome) sometimes becomes "inactive"

[technicallynick]

I've noticed recently that while debugging a new React deployment, the Components and Profiler tabs will go missing from the developer console in Chrome. In the past, a complete shut down of Chrome and restarting it would correct it. This last time that it happened, I noticed that the background page would just say "background page (inactive)". When clicked, it would open a developer console to inspect the background, but also make it active again. Once this was done, I was able to refresh a react page and the Components and Profiler tabs would appear again.

For reference, this would happen on known react sites such as Facebook as well.

Chrome Extension Version: 4.7.0
