Research direction

Start by locating the stringCountFields implementation in the repository and reproduce the Scripting News tab-switching scenario with the console open. Trace how an undefined s reaches the method and verify that the scenario no longer raises a TypeError; no specific file or test is named in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When switching between the tabs on Scripting News with the console open, a typeError occurs in the method stringCountFields due to the lack of a value for s. Upstream, the dialog code should also be modified to ignore links that have no href as well, which I intend to file as a separate issue if/when I find that repo.
