+	// 1. An exec context for about:blank is first set;
+	// 2. A new set event is received for exec context for the url pointing
+	//    to the actual destination for the iframe;
+	// 3. Finally the execution context for about:blank is destroyed, not
+	//    for the second execution context.
+	//
+	// This is the order of events when iframes are in use on a site, and
+	// so it is safe to nil the original execution context and overwrite it
+	// with the second one.
+	//
+	// The exec context destroyed event will not remove the new exec context
+	// since the ids do not match.
+	//
+	// If we didn't overwrite the first execCtx with the new one, then
+	// waitForExecutionContext could end up waiting indefinitely since all
