Delays when using Firefox (34.0) to query neo4j on an remote machine

I have a strange problem with Firefox (34.0) vs. Internet Explorer (11) and Neo4j (community 2.1.6):

When I connect locally (localhost:7474/browser), I get answers in <= 200ms time with both browsers.

When I connect to a remote computer (other:7474/browser), the answers in Firefox take 30 seconds plus a few milliseconds.

Has anyone the same problem or any ideas for the reason of these delays?

I finally found the problem myself. In Internet Option -> Connections -> LAN settings, there is a proxy configured and "Bypass Proxy Server for local addresses" enabled. Firefox is configured to use System Proxy Settings.

In IE, both hostname and hostname.mydomain.com works. In Firefox, only hostname.mydomain.com works. If I use only hostname, the delay occurs (I still don't understand why). If I switch to manually proxy configuration in Firefox and explicitely add hostname to the exclusion list, it works without the delay.

So it has to do with the Proxy Settings, although I would expect that the local domain would be appended to hostname, if not fully qualified, and the result should be the same. So this seems to be a bug in Firefox?! But it does not occur when connecting to e.g. an Apache server. So it is a probably a problem in the Neo4j browser code.
