Whether or not you think the extension could possibly impact on your
problem is somewhat immaterial.
Extensions can do funny things when mixed with other extensions, if they
have never been tested together or in the exact combo you have them in,
problems can arise.
In any case, go to safe mode and try it then! Whether or not you think
so, that will resolve the question whether your extensions mix is
impacting on the lowes problem or not. If it does the same thing with
no extensions, then you can say your 20 extensions are okay, otherwise
you cannot.
