Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.0b5 (Ubuntu Hardy):

3) I expect that the TCP connection (for streaming "multipart/x-mixed-replace" content) is closed when navigating away from the page (go to another URL or close the TAB page)

4) The TCP connection is not closed when navigating away from page (and thus consumes unnecessary amount of bandwidth)

When closing pages with "multipart/x-mixed-replace" content (e.g. motion JPEG used for AXIS network cameras), by either navigating away or closing the corresponding TAB page the TCP connection is not closed (remains 'ESTABLISHED') and server providing data (motion JPEG) keeps pushing data (and firefox keeps accepting). This consumes an unnecessary amount of bandwidth. Workaround is to close firefox altogether in order to close TCP connections.
