I'll try to take a look at this later today.

Since Whisker isn't part of the base image, it's probably more accurate to call this a conflict with Whisker, not a [BUG] in 3.1alpha.  It's odd that all browsers would break, though... could point to a non-Whisker problem. (or maybe not :-) )

(It's not too surprising that a conflict occured, since Preferences was just given an overhaul in 3.1alpha, and I was customizing Preferences a bit.  Hopefully the new Prefs code will need less customizing... but if it still does, I should probably just submit the needed changes to the list.)
