Issues loading the login site of my ISP

When I first power on my modem, I must log into the ISPs page before I can surf the net. This has worked fine for me up until about 2 months ago. Since then, when I get redirected to the login page, it either fails to load, or takes an age to do so (3-5mins).

This happened around the time 3.6.2 was released, but I'm unsure if it was exactly after I upgraded.

Firefox on the mac, and PC, on multiple machines exhibit the issue. Running Safari, Chrome or IE, the page loads instantly. Once logged in I can use Firefox without an issue, even loading the login page again should I choose, it loads the page instantly.

Finally the ISP came back to me, requesting me to disable the validation of certificates (under tools, options, advanced, validation, uncheck all), and re-enabling it after I've logged in.

This does appear to resolve the issue, but I'm wondering why this is the case, and why only Firefox is affected.

It's a right PITA to have to launch another browser to log in, then switch back to FF. It's even worse having to disable the validation check and re-enable it afterwards.

Any ideas what could be causing this behaviour?
