We are seeing thousands of connections in our Apache access logs coming from the same IP address connecting to the same pages with in a short period of time (~5-20 minutes). We see this in Firefox 27, 28, 29, and 30. Below is an example of the entries, and how they loop continuously. I have not been able to reproduce the problem manually, but this happens several times a week, and I see evidence in our logs, and by monitoring the session count in our database, which increase when this happens.

Why is this happening? Is this a bug? I see a bug report filed at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=976878, but I do not see any replies.

Sorry, beyond the scope of this Firefox user support forum.

You could try posting to the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web site issues with Firefox. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 You'll need to register and login to be able to post in that forum.

Or you could add information to that Bug report or create a new Bug report.

Or the appropriate Google Group, linked in the right column of this page after you scroll-down a bit - http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/
