Each time the timer runs, it will re-schedule itself repeatedly every
5mins. Fortunately, re-scheduling a timer first cancels it!

Nowhere. There's just no way to (cross-browser) have some JS code
overlap multiple web pages. Well, there's actually 2:
- a WebWorker, but only the most recent versions of browsers (except
IE) support it
- using frames, so you have pages with lifetime independent of each
others.
But really, this is a design issue in your code!
And why scheduling the timer 5 mins from the page load wouldn't work?
