I couldn't find a clear definition of what it means in Firefox, though the 
general answer to this is that the client stopped the request. As a document 
related to HttpWatch 
describes<http://blog.httpwatch.com/2008/01/28/what-does-aborted-mean-in-httpwatch/>for
 IE this can have several reasons (copied from there):

   1. If you click on a link or bookmark while a page is downloading, or 
   click on IE’s Stop button, you will see that IE cancels any requests which 
   are still active and HttpWatch shows the (Aborted) result.
   2. A CSS rollover image on a page will start a request when the mouse 
   pointer is moved into its active area. If the mouse pointer quickly moves 
   away again, IE may abort the request if it has not already completed.
   3. Sometimes javascript is used to fire off requests for background 
   tasks or to gather statistics on a page. Often this can lead to aborted 
   results if the javascript does not wait for the response to be received 
   from the server.
   
As these points say they apply to Internet Explorer. Though I assume the 
same counts for Firefox.
Our network guru Honza might have a better explanation for this.
