Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Using the URL in the URL field, (http://www.serials.ws/all/?l=N&pn=2 yes I know
it's a cracks site)  if you open that URL, then open a new tab and go elsewhere,
the javascript which controls the ticker at the bottom of the screen continues
to run on any current tab you are on including the serials tab. It doesn't seem
to matter if you have 2 or 9 tabs open (I chose 9 because thats how many I have
open), the ticker continues to run.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Firefox 0.92
2a. open a website (ie. google)
OR 
2b. go to the website with javascript ticker

If you chose 2a, goto 3a:
3a. goto website with javascript ticker, like the one mentioned in the URL field
and then click on the tab with your website (ie google)
OR
3b. open a new tab and goto a website of your choice, ie google.
Optional: 4. open a second/third/fourth/etc tab and goto a new website OR click
on an existing open tab. The javascript ticker is not contained in the tab.
Actual Results:  
If you use the serials website, you shoudl see a ticker at the bottom of the
scrren which says: "Serials - www.serials.ws" which types itself out and then
scrolls to the left deleting the words.

Expected Results:  
I believe the ticker should be self contained to the one and only tab that
started it. I don't know how many other javascript problems this may cause.
