I also experienced this problem just now. Many others have experienced this issue here:

Google appears to turn up a few other results. 

My User Agent: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0"

THe final workaround of clearing history and restarting firefox worked for me.

I couldn't manage to reproduce this issue. Since the bug was a long time ago, most likely isn't reproducible anymore for the reporter also.
Closing this bug as resolved: Worksforme.
