929077 - Firebug reports blocking before the document is downloaded

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

Attachment: firefox-blocking.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.66 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open one of the following sites:

http://thehill.com
http://gsas.harvard.edu
http://www.equipmentone.com
https://www.linux.com

2) Open firebug and go to the network tab
3) Reload the page
4) Observe that firefox is blocking on the document


Actual results:

Firefox blocks on the document on my site, and some other sites:

http://thehill.com/
http://gsas.harvard.edu/
https://www.linux.com/

But does not block on other sites:

google.com
amazon.com

Increasing my request limit from 6 to 12 did not resolve the problem. I've also tried resetting my firefox profile to remove add-ons except for firebug, which also didn't resolve the problem. 


Expected results:

If blocking happens when the request limit is reached, then since the document is always the first thing to be downloaded, there is no reason that it should be blocked.

Is this still reproducable or can this Bug be closed?
