switch to that tab until you click on it.  That way it can start loading while
you continue on the current page.  I use it all the time to pull up multiple
windows in rapid succession, let them all load, and then go through them one
by one.  It's awesome -- you should try it!  It's so fast and beautiful!

Hmm, that sounds like an interesting feature, ASSUMING Mozilla doesn't
have the problem I have with Netscape. Netscape has a habit of going on
vacation while loading certain things (I think resolving a host name is
one thing) where it doesn't re-draw screens. I wouldn't find background
loading so exciting if right when I want to scroll the page down, the
browser has decided to go on vacation speculatively loading a page.
