Yup, that's the same issue. If you browse this site
http://www.theguardian.com/uk
you will notice constant new HTTP requests are shown on the status bar
(or more accurately if you use FireBug). Again, the stop button does not
do anything. These are big name sites; I don't think it's practical for
end users to simply avoid them.
So you want to stop background requests that are updating the sites
content (probably the Breaking News ticker that updates every few
seconds), not the loading of the site itself, because Stop works just
peachy keen for that.
There is a Pause button between the < > arrows to pause the news ticker
on that site.
For other sites there are extensions that users can use to block
unwanted http requests I believe, or use a host file, or look for the
pause/stop button on the site.
