I doubt tomcat limits the number of Threads per session. To get the session id, tomcat need to parse the request, but this parsing occurs in the Http-Thread that handle that network connection. Having that HTTP-thread wait would be, for tomcat, wasting a Thread.
On the other hand, it's common courtesy of browser to limit the number of connection per server to a reasonable amount (4 or 8 generally). AJAX request can't escape that limit :) Since you are using firefox, i suggest you take a look at about:config -> filter=network.http You might find there useful configuration helps.
