Not sure. Don't forget that inactive tabs can download resources, too, via XHR,
javascript timer,
or meta refresh tags. If Myk's Content Preferences works by watching for tab
switches, then no,
it's not going to help.
At the moment, it just watches for tab switches (specifically
onlocationchange and also DOMContentLoaded--but the latter only for the
current tab), although I've been thinking of adding support for
DOMContentLoaded and/or pageshow for all tabs in the next version.
But note that Content Preferences doesn't actually give you per-tab
prefs, it gives you per-site prefs. That is, you can associate prefs
with a given hostname and then use those prefs each time a resource is
loaded from the host with that name.
So if you're looking to implement per-tab prefs, Content Preferences
won't help you much. But if you're looking to implement per-site prefs,
it would be helpful, and in Firefox 3 you don't even need the
extension. You can just access the built-in content pref service
directly whenever you need to retrieve the prefs for some site from
which a resource is being loaded.
