I don't know if this would be helpful, but I'm testing both sites at the same 
time (tabbed) with Mozilla and Firefox, and I'm not having problems - am 
clicking through many links with both browsers fetching on both tabs (and 
Mozilla also has other tabs open). I'm running 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 and have the 
same versions of Mozilla and Firefox as you do, and all my ports are also 
up-to-date. Both browsers have Flash, Java and scripting enabled. If it means 
anything, I'm also running X.org and Xfce4. However, the OP it was an 
intermittent problem (is it with you as well?), so not sure if I'm just 
getting lucky, as I haven't ever surfed either of those sites before.
