[Bug 807014] [NEW] connection reusage across tabs

[Jan Kurella]

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...
