 Using TBB 3.0b1 (in Windows 7), the Adblock Plus (version 2.4) extension
 causes the Tor Launcher dialog box to appear frozen when starting TBB (the
 progress bar does not move and the progress description text does not
 appear). Clicking the "Exit" button quites TBB. Clicking "Config" results
 in the Tor Browser window opening with the about:tor page reporting
 success. As far as I can tell (from visiting check.torproject.org), I am
 connected to Tor after launching this way. The Tor Launcher window appears
 to behave as expected if the extension is installed but disabled. This is
 the first version of TBB 3.0 I've tried so it is possible this problem
 existed in the alpha versions.
