i have a Telstra bigpond dial-up internet account (australia). after 30 minutes
of inactivity or upon closing all internet applicaitons i am prompted to
disconnect. however firefox is not recognised as activity and every 30minutes i
have to deal with the pop-up asking me to disconnect. this alsooccurs if i have
internet explorer and fireforc open if i close iExp and leave firefox open it
thinks i have finished with the connection

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect with Telstra bigpond
2. open iExp and firefox
3. close iExp

Actual Results:  
a pop-up window opens giving me 30seconds to either disconnect or cancel the
action before it automatically disconnects me

Expected Results:  
the pop-up should not appear unless the connection is inactive, firefox is
activity across the connection
