On 2012-02-10 13:05 PST IRCCloud[1] was having network issues and it caused some weird behavior on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:13.0a1) Gecko/20120210 Firefox/13.0a1 ID:20120210031150

Error console was spammed with this:

Error: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at wss://irccloud.com/.
Source File: https://irccloud.com/static/js/app.combined.js?v=55575eff5edbf3b78eb7f286572f081c
Line: 107

While this occurred, if I tried to open any URL on a different tab it would stay forever "Connecting..." with the gray spinner going on forever.

I troubleshooted network and proxy and found everything to be OK.

Closing IRCCloud's tab restored connectivity.

Seems like Nightly would halt all network activity when there's a broken web socket.
