Hey all, Actually, I remembered going back to the original post - Firefox doesn't actually make the extra request. Chrome and Safari send these requests to my tomcat server (resolving in a 404), but Firefox does not. However, for some reason Firebug registers the request and does not resolve it. I suspect Firefox generates the request and then discards it before actually making it, but Firebug doesn't realize this.
