Following up on my own post, pm-hibernate works fine with www.nytimes.com,
mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mrm, but not on www.washingtonpost.com (as mentioned
earlier), www.huffingtonpost.com or mail.yahoo.com.
I wonder if flash is the culprit, (I do not have it installed, but gnash-plugin
is installed, btw).
