Firefox freezes on one page that uses standard Apache2/PHP session cookies

Hi there,

I'm running a site with standard Apache2 PHP5 Session Cookies which randomly creates problems with Firefox 3 and 4.

The site freezes at some point and waits forever for the answer on a request (which btw never reaches the Apache, there's nothing in the logs about it).

Apache graceful restart solves the problem for one page but it occurs again afterwards

There are cookie fragments in the Firefox Cookie list

When all sessions in the Apache Cache or all sessions in the Firefox Cache are deleted manually, the problem goes away for the moment, but it returns after $n site buildups, randomly.

There's no javascript or Java involved, I tried deactivating every addon and every feature I've found so far and I haven't been successful in finding an answer to this for weeks. You're my last hope...

Help :-)
