Hello. I have encountered an exception when running your sample on shared memory. The plugin runs fine, maintaining settings across tabs and windows. However when I open a new instance(window) of IE, close the first window, and then try to open a new tab in the second window, the following error is thrown: ADX_IE_Shared_Memory_CS.IEBarModule error: the Browser extension has fired an exception.

The stack trace is as follows:

So while testing some more, I have found that the following error occurs whenever you close the first tab you opened and then open a new tab, regardless of whether the new tab is in another window. Apparently the shared memory (optionPageData) is reset to null when you close the first tab.
