Load www.nba.com first with Firefox.  Open another tab with CTRL-T, then load
any website (yahoo.com for example).  Switch back and forth between nba.com and
yahoo.com.  You will be able to switch tabs back and forth for some time. 
However, once the flash slide show on main page changes or loads, it becomes
impossible to switch from nba.com to yahoo.com

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load nba.com
2.Open new tab with CTRL-T, then load any website
3.Switch back and forth

Actual Results:  
Stays stuck on nba.com for less than a minute.

Expected Results:  
Not get stuck(?)
Most likely because of the flash ads on that page, that seem to eat all timer
events.

Is this an issue on trunk?  Esp. with darin's event patch?
Keywords: qawanted
Flash with wmode=transparent is currently broken on trunk because of cairo, see bug 329766 (and dependancie). So I can't test this.
Bug 291740 has a good testcase for this.
Depends on: 291740
Depends on: 329766

Feel free to renominate if it's actually shown to be a problem on the trunk.
