Native Messaging stops working after receiving chunked response - google-chrome-extension

Question

I made two extensions, one for firefox and one for chrome(will post only firefox code here, if it is necessary to post Chrome code, let me know, but it is extremely similar) that has some actions, calls to native host app. One of this calls returns a message with > 1 mb. According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging, "The maximum size of a single message from the application is 1 MB". According to chrome native messaging: how to receive > 1MB, data > 1mb must be chunked into less than 1 mb data and sent as many chunks. I Made a Java host app, and made a solution to chunk data. The data is chunked and many responses are sent, each with a chunk in a json string. The sending and responses worked ok, the messages are joined in an input of the web page, and the action works. However, after making this action, any other call fail. If I go to windows task manager, and kill the native host process, everything works again. If I do the action that gets chunked response, it works again, but next calls fail silently, firefox browser console gives me nothing. I guess there is something wrong with my solution. The actions work. When I do the action that receives more than 1 mb, the action works, but after that no other action work again. Any help is appreciated. Tell me if the question is not clear, or is a big mess, I will improve it. I did everythink I could to make it work, and it works, but oddly only one time, then it fails and do nothing. Sorry, but I can't say what the actions are, i mean, what im tryng to do, if it is realy necessary to know, I will ask my manager to explain it here.
