> If he is writing to Facebook.com’s Local Storage (which it looks like he is), then it is very possible that Facebook.com is breaking him, not Safari. He should not be using Facebook.com’s Local Storage at all. Instead, he should be sending the preferences up to the Application Layer and storing it there.

I can't really speak to where extension writers should be writing their content, but you mention it being a 5.1 problem, yet the extension problems I have do not occur with 5.1 nor with r90991 and earlier running in 5.1 under OS X Lion. I use r90991 every day so I know. All 3 extensions do break within that range when I test. Things don't seem to be adding up the way you describe. I'm not seeing the issue you say is due to a race condition on anything but the latest webkit nightlies after the range I specified.

I'm not sure this should be considered invalid yet.
