Highlighting should be page-specific

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When one enables highlighting, one is usually trying to get to some
information on that page. If one leaves that page, highlighting will
usually not be necessary. Thus, it should automatically be disabled
whenever one leaves that page. This includes: navigating Back or Forward,
following a link, closing the tab, or switching tabs.

Note that this should not, however, include navigating between different
anchors on the same page. For example, highlighting on
http://www.example.com/ would be turned off as soon as one goes to
http://www.example.org/; but highlighting would not be affected if one
navigates to http://www.example.com/#example.

More useful would probably be *tab-specific* and to propagate highlighting on 
new tabs opened from tabs that has highlighting already activated.

it seems like there should be a pref for highlighting 'sticky' behavior, if 
highlighting is currently on, for each of:

1)tab switch
2)link following
3)new tab open
