I've found the source of this anomaly: at least in my case was CheckPoint firewall (NGX 6.2) and one of the SmartDefence's rules:
SmartDefence -> WebIntelligence -> HTTP Protocol Inspection -> Header Rejection The connections containing a string "IST" in User-agent parameter are rejected by the firewall. Deactivating this rule solves the problem. -- firefox - the connection was reset - Fiesty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
