User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0

Steps to reproduce:

Load up our web application with FF14 on Ubuntu and reload the page a
few times ~10 times.



Actual results:

Around the 10th reload, firefox will spin connecting to the web site.

Increasing max_connections_per_server dimishes this problem.   After
inspecting lsof/netstat, I can see that the connections are being held
onto across page reloads, specifically, it appears as though the XHR is
being held open across reloads until some built-in timeout is hit (I
guess around 2 minutes).

This problem did not occur in FF13, and just trying the FF15 beta, the
problem is not occurring there.  Since users can install FF14, and it is
the default on Ubuntu, it seems like something that should be fixed.


Expected results:

The web site should have loaded immediately, the connections should have
been closed when the user hits reload on the page.
