I did a research and I know what the issue is, but I'm not sure if I can fix 
it. Web Developer is using about:blank (which is empty page when you open a new 
tab) and modifies its contents on the fly. New Tab Jumpstart intercepts 
about:blank and presents itself instead. Because New Tab Jumpstart is not a 
html page (like about:blank) Web Developer cannot properly handle it.

This is fundamental part of New Tab Jumpstart - it is made to replace blank new 
tab with usable contents, so I cannot change that. Web Developer can be changed 
to use a different page or possibly a custom made page to overcome this - I was 
able to change it to use about:robots page, the only thing is - the original 
content is rendered under Web Developer's content - but it's at least readable 
(so as a proof of concept - it works). You should probably contact Web 
Developer's developer and see if he has any ideas on how to fix this.
