I've seen this behaviour with Firefox when it reaches one of its connection limits (or believes it does). Some of its limits only apply to proxy connections which might explain why you don't see the problem with direct connections. > I have to restart polipo in order to make things work again.

You could try checking with netstat to see if there are any connections open between polipo and Firefox. Increasing the connection limit in question might work around or solve the problem (depending on whether or not the limit is actually reached). As polipo continues to work with other clients while Firefox doesn't, I think it's unlikely that it's a polipo issue. Fabian
