Auto Refresh widget not working if i use any other window or tab

I using autorefresh widget to refresh specific services at every 6 minutes. Widget is working fine only if i access the same window, if i access any other window widget is not working then again it calculating 6minutes from that time. 

For example : If i access mashup page for 6+ minutes widget is working fine and If i moved to other page at 5th minute or any other minute then it is not refreshing the data then it calculating time from first second to trigger the autorefresh. Is there any other way to trigger the service for every 6 minutes. Thanks.
