I know that chrome limits the amount of time that the CORS preflight validation response result can be cached (to a maximum of 5 minutes — and if the server sets expiration header to a longer time - chrome still only caches up to 5 minutes). Does Firefox perhaps not limit this? It could be that you are seeing a difference in behavior due to the max time that each browser is willing to cache the CORS preflight check ...?
