Unfortunately, I cannot disclose a sample url since this project has not launched yet.

This works in general, so there's something specific the scripts on that page are doing that's causing a problem.  If you're not able to provide a link, are you able to attach the relevant HTML and scripts to this bug report?  As things stand, there's unfortunately nothing to work with here.  :(

During debugging I came across this post:

Updating the MicrosoftAjax.js and debug files fixed this issue.

Thank you for digging into that!  Looks like the old script sniffed for Firefox and purposefully reloaded the page.  :(
