Some websites only load when in focus, how to fool them?

Examples are often financial websites, like chase.com

For example, if I type in my username and password then switch to a different tab with chase.com in background, it doesn't seem to load. When I return to the tab it will begin loading only then, like the tab was suspended in time until it was active on one of my monitors again. This also happens when my session dies in the 5 or so minutes time to live. The logout doesn't actually render/reload the page until I switch back to it's tab.

I can surmise this is some type of either security measure or bandwidth saving tactic, but I'd like to know if there are ways to fool whatever scripts it's using to check if the user has the tab active or not, and make such tabs always load successfully even when not active or in focus.

Any known settings flags or addons to assist here? Even weird ones like loading the page to the sidebar or something?

Does it work if you open such a link in a new window and continue to work in the original window ?

You can tear off a tab to a new window by dragging the tab down in the web page area or use the right-click context menu (Move Tab). You can drag the tab back to the tab bar to undo the tear off and close this window.
