Other FF tab reloads when Allowing a site

[CStubing]

First, I hope this isn't a re-post. I searched the forums and the FAQ and couldn't find anything, but it was kind of hard to sift through the search results for things like "reload" and "tab".

I'm having a problem where allowing a site in Noscript on one FF tab, say on tab 5, is causing an additional tab (tab 0) to reload. It doesn't happen all the time when I allow sites, but it happens somewhere around 50% of the time. It is a little difficult for me to know how to create a test case for this, so I'll try to explain the scenario and perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.

I normally have several tabs open in firefox. In tab 0, I always have loaded a DRAC (Dell Remote Access Controller), which is a hardware KVM over IP on a remote server. This piece of hardware contains a web server, among other things, which serves up a Java Applet that is actually a Java version of VNC. The applet creates a separate window containing the VNC session, which I have open on another monitor.

Now, as I'm browsing in another tab, and need to Allow a site for NoScript, sometimes as that tab reloads, FF also reloads my first tab, containing that Java applet, which makes the VNC session window disappear and actually kills my session (it uses frames and way too much javascript).

Due to the nature of this remote access controller, I cannot offer public access to it to help debug, but would be happy to follow any instructions to try to debug this.

The other tab shouldn't reload, unless it contains some script sources which are in common with the tab you're changing permissions on.
If they've got no script source in common (even just about:blank, which is the most likely), it would be a bug but without access is quite difficult to troubleshoot.
Anyway you can mitigate this problem as explained in FAQ 5.5.

Ah, that should do the trick quite nicely. Thanks for the help -- I've just sent you a donation to help support this fine work.
