User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I wanted to view the webcam of a radiostation,
http://www.3fm.nl/page/webcam/200. This site uses Windows Media Player for
streaming. I had WMP installed before installing FireFox 1.0 and the plugin
works fine.

But when a tab is changed and viewing a different URL the controls of the WMP
are also visible on the current tab. The video is not visible. I have to close
the 3FM tab to close the plugin and view other sites normally.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.3fm.nl/page/webcam/200
2. Open a new tab
3. Wait a second, the WMP controls are shown

Actual Results:  
Close the 3FM tab

Expected Results:  
Only draw the plugin on tab containing the site with the plugin.
