The anonymizer blocks javascript and soeme images from this website.
It uses the status bar for its own promotion ticker.
Going to another site doesn´t stop the ticker, closing the tab stops it.

Going to another tab lets the ticker continue running, but that is

the problem is that the javascript REMAINS RUNNING even after CLOSING the tab.



the tab-switching-issue is a different problem...

[Hermann Schwab]

If I´m switching the tab, it remains running.
If I´m closing the tab, it stops running.

Can you give a working example, including an URL to be seen via anonymizer?
Luisskier isn´t a good example, it is slow, and behaved differently through the
anonymizer.
Do you see this bug with a paid account, or the unregistered, free one also?
