Tony Hoffer: this bug appears to be about getting notification while only a 
browser window is open; as such, it is a duplicate report.  Note that, in bug 
71105 comment 97, it is noted that this has improved slightly: if you open the 
mail window alongside a browser window, and then close the mail window, mail 
checking will continue in the background as long as the browser is open.
