Mouse movements on tabs (from one to another) whithout clicking generate Network traffic and cookies reload for the tab under pointer.
Which is quite anoyning.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open at least 2 tabs
2.One of the sites should have cookies and Firefox should be configured to ask for cookies on this site
3.Click on one different tab (not the one with cookies)
4.Move the mouse pointer from one tab to another
Actual Results:  
Network traffic is generated for each tab under mouse pointer
If sites have cookies and Firefox is configured to ask permission then you get all cookies permission windows

Expected Results:  
No Network traffic and cookies permission when mouse is moved over tabs.
I'm sorry. This "bug" is not a Firefox bug, it was caused by the skin I used ...
Please remove.
