Thanks very much for the quick reply John. I have reconstructed what happened from the various logs and the emails sent.
(The logging is fairly detailed so the reconstruction is, I feel, good. There were no browser side exceptions reported at the points I monitor, which is at failure of AJAX returns.) I have not encountered this issue myself on hundreds of tests using IE, FF, Opera, Safari and Chrome. I don't intend to load up the add-ons myself, so unfortunately I don't have a live malfunctioning browser to inspect.
