Public bug reported: Probably a firefox bug: When I fire request to an identical resource (the string in the address is literally identical) the requests are processed synchronoulsy. This is easy to test on a small server, that incidentially blocks for 5 seconds on a request before returning the used thread id. Each request fired one after the other from different tabs will return after 5*n seconds, where n is the ordinal the request was fired. Assuming 20 parallel tabs firing the same request this would lead to the last request getting its response after 5s*20=100s...
