User famz [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=10328573#p10328573 suggested] that RP should implement an approach similar to !NoScript and reload all tabs that are affected when the whitelist is changed. This would need to be a preference. I'm not sure what the default should be (on or off). Also, should such a feature try to be smart and reload any affected tab, not just those open to the same origin? The problem with that is that it could be confusing to the user as to why some tabs reloaded. The safer bet seems to be to limit it to tabs of the same origin so that users can at least have an expectation of what will reload.
