Research direction

The report names no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing the browserify and tinyify webextension builds, then inspect the generated bundle around the unresolved require reference; done means the tinyify output loads without the reported ReferenceError and the regression is covered by a test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm using browserify on a project one of whose outputs is a webextension. When using browserify alone, the webextension works fine. When using tinyify, loading the extension fails with "Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined".

I have verified that I am using the browserify output in both cases. The only difference is using tinyify or not.
