We are using 2 Axis 2100 webcams to show everyone our xmas tree lights.
The axis cameras send a video stream as mjpeg.
The Stream displayed correctly, but after closing the window/tab that was being used to view the streams, the stream is kept open.
When we are closing the Firefox with all windows the stream gets closed.

one Camera send up to 2 Mbit/s, and with the other its up to 4 mbit/s
at one time, we testet it on 10 computers (Win XP / Vista) with upcoming 40 mbit/s bandwith!
closing all the tabs but the streams everywhere dont end... our ISP are not happy to us... ok, we closed at all computers the firefox'es an all the streams shutting down

Many other Users have the same problem, please see the Mozilla Support Forum

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the webpage and see the stream
2.closed the tab
3.see at the Bandwith Monitor, the Stream is always open! (ok you can't see anything because the tab is closed but the bandwith is wasted
4.to stop the stream close the Firefox with all tabs 
Actual Results:  
the Bandwith wasting ends


oh my got, when we close the tab at Microsoft IE7 the Stream ends..
