Firefox 5 issues? UPDATE: okay with Firefox 6

We are having timeout issues with users that are running Firefox 5 (on both Windows and OSX). I checked the login/process logs I keep and these same users had no problems when they had Firefox 4. The actual error message returned is:

java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

There was one report of the same issue when using Safari (533.21.1 on OSX 10.6.8), but another user using the same OS and Safari was able to upload without problems. Users of other browsers/versions also do not have any problems.

Please verify if there is an issue with Firefox 5 on both Windows and OSX machines...and hopefully any possible solutions...

UPDATE 2011-08-23: our users that have updated to Firefox 6.0 have not run into this issue!

Thanks!
