Bug#791402: [Iceweasel] iceweasel stops refreshing a http-meta-refresh page instead of reproting a connection problem

Package: Iceweasel
Version: 31.7.0esr-1~deb7u1+rpi1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
In an RasPi-kiosk-application iceweasel randomly stops loading a page
triggered by the http-meta-refresh-tag.
The current page is displayed forever instead of loading the next one
given by the refresh-tag or reporting a connection problem
error-page. In the left lower corner iceweasel says
"Connecting to <URL> ..." but nothing happens.
 
With a manually forced reload everything works fine
again until the next "stuck-at" happens.
 
I observed in the jsconsole that there is a request for the page that
finally does not come up.
While for this request there is no response, in regularly intervalls
iceweasel still keeps connecting to "www.safebrowsing.google[https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.safebrowsing.google]..."
successfully.
 
I tried to disable IPv6 both in the kernel and iceweasels about:config.
I also disabled dns-prefetching. And, of course,
i used 'clean' user profiles (with and without additional add-ons).
 
The Raspi-Kiosk works like a charme in my private network, but fails in
an other one at work.
Regularly the GET calls of iceweasel in the latter network are responded
with huge a delay (e.g. 8000ms instead of the usual 150-350 ms)
as reported by the jsconsole.
 
I consider this a bug as midori on the same RasPI and Iceweasel in an
older version (spring 2014?) on an other box in the same
"unstable" network are robust in reporting connection problems.
