I only found one issue when using both OverbiteFF and Linkification: The
gopher:// URL at the top gets linkified into a http:// URL. This is a
bug in the Linkification extension.

And I have tried a few others from that 3 million list, both couldn't
get any of them to work at all. Let alone in combination with
OverbiteFF.
