[Cialug] deep STOP

[Kenneth Younger]

See, then I lose all functionality of Google Reader and similar sites. The
point is that I don't want to blanket-ly stop the entire page or browser, I
need to be able to stop particular requests. I'll agree that it's a unique
problem, and there may not be a solution.

But every time I see that "Transferring data from blahblahblah.com..." in
the status bar in FireFox, I wish I could just double-click on it and bring
up all the requests for that tab, and be able to kill each one individually
or in batch.
