The countdown timers at File Storage Locker sites (fileserve, bitshare, freakshare, etc) will no longer countdown if not the active page (Since upgrading to firefox 5.0). How do make it countdown when not the active page?
Since upgrading to firefox 5.0, countdown timers at the various file locker sites will no longer countdown when the page is not the active page. I am sure it is not a site-side change as ALL the sites countdown timers freeze when not the active page. This has only happened since the upgrade.

For reading only as Bugzilla is Not a forum.
Bug#652472 - Higher setTimeout/setInterval clamping in inactive tabs breaks countdown scripts
In mean time you can try opening those links in a new window instead of a new tab.
Not all sites are affected as sites like Megaupload, Filesonic, depositfiles, Rapidshare work fine.
