I can confirm this behaviour but I can't confirm this as a Phoenix bug; it's far
more likely to be a bug with the Tabbed Browsing Extension which is not part of
the Phoenix project.

This is a bug that should be brought to the attention of the author of the
extension, as it is a bit of a blocker in terms of using Phoenix and this
extension to their fullest.

I'm going to have to mark this as INVALID for the reasons outlined above.
