Not clear yet as to which approach is better for tab switching.

Is that all I have to do, or did I do it wrong?

What is the main difference in the result that bug 792199 and 689623 are trying to achieve ?

Seems to me that both are trying to decode visible images only at tab switch.

I’ve been seeing this for months and just assumed it was deliberate.

It would be a shame to have enterprise users waiting another year for such an important snappy fix, when they are the ones most likely to use proxies…
Or is the patch to risky for that?
