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.
