Hey #Firefox hackers! My credit card issuer, Chase, does something funky where its page won’t load unless it’s in the focused tab:
https://secure.chase.com/web/auth/dashboard
I want to get it to load in the background instead.
Any ideas? I tried turning off all the lazy-load-enabled settings in about:config but that didn’t work.

I get the same results in Chrome and Firefox: if you open that URL in a background tab it waits for you to switch to it, so it looks like something Chase is doing on purpose.
When it does render, the url is updated to https://secure.chase.com/web/auth/dashboard#/dashboard/overview
Chase appears to use the “hash” part of the URL as commands. If you try to load that full URL with the hash part then it does seem to render in a background tab just fine in Chrome and Firefox.
