OK, quick update, I downloaded a HTTP monitor plugin for firefox and discovered that although the request was being created, it wasn't being completely sent - and would get stuck at something 1100/1198 or something (the numbers changed slightly every time).
Anyway, I saw that this was working when logged on at a different terminal, so I decided to try running the page with no firebug and no http monitor plugin and it worked first time (and fortunately every time after that). Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? It's a bit of a pain to be honest as there's every chance that some of the intended users of the site might be using these sort of plugins...
