Sites which uses pushed data (e.g WebCam) send an endless data stream. If you change the site in the tab the connection for the previous content is not broken/stopped. This probably related to the bfcache.
I don't know if this is intended behaviour but in this context it is at least unexpected and for people with dailup and/or volume rates it can also be an unpleasant one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit any site
2. Visit (in the same tab) e.g. following webcam:
data:text/html;base64,PHNjcmlwdD5kb2N1bWVudC53cml0ZSgnPGltZyBzcmM9Imh0dHA6Ly8yMDAuMzMuMjAuNi9heGlzLWNnaS9tanBnL3ZpZGVvLmNnaT9yZXNvbHV0aW9uPTMyMHgyNDAmZHVtbXk9Z2FyYiIpJyk7PC9zY3JpcHQ%2B
3. Use e.g TCPView to identify the connection
4. Use the back function to return to the previous site
5. check that the connection for the web cam is still active
Actual Results:
Connection is still active

Expected Results:
Connection should be stopped

Seems not to happen in FF 2
