I don't know offhand.  I think there was a message a few months ago where
someone reported on the behavior they saw from various browsers.  Try
googling for it.

Note that even if the browser *does* fail over, the timeout may be long
enough that users will hit the Stop button before it does.  So it may not
be a good idea to depend on it.
