Same with Tabbrowser extensions on w2k (same build).

These are incompatabilities with the extension. If the bug doesn't occur without
an extension then the bug probably belongs filed on the extension and not on
Phoenix. We're moving too fast in these early stages of rapid development to not
change things which would break skins or extensions.

Yes. These are incompatibilities with the extensions.
But the officially supported ones were modified by the 
developers of Phoenix. The authors of the extensions 
do not seem to have the necessary privileges to update 
the extensions themselves.

If the extensions would be updated by the Phoenix team, 
3rd party developers could use them as a reference for 
fixing their own ones. It is not obvious where the prefs 
overlay should go.

Also Blake & Co have also been unresponsive to requests 
to add compatible extensions (like RadialContext).

Mass-verifying of old bugs.
