This is <a HREF="https://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/rss_feed_item_reloads_on_focus" rel="nofollow">very frustrating</A> and so far hasn't captured the attention of Tbird developers. It seems clear that the use of tabs has not been carefully thought out so far; it's more of a we-have-tabs-too approach. (Remember the recent kerfuffle over tabs on top?) The result is broken functionality. Disappointing. El Guru, thanks for bringing attention to this bug. This is very frustrating and so far hasn’t captured the attention of Tbird developers.

I hope to be putting Linux Mint on this computer soon, so it will be interesting to see what develops. I tried this on another TBird 11 profile without success.

This change is awful and there should be an option to opt out! I don't want to waste my time trying to navigate TB with something that Devs thinks is awesome. Bad idea!
