Have you recently upgraded Elasticsearch? Possibly a CORS issue and IE is  
just being extra permissive? You might consider upgrading to Kibana 3.1.2  
which has a troubleshooting page to help out with CORS issues, or Kibana 4  
which doesn't have CORS issues.

Unfortunately the browser doesn't tell Kibana when it fails to contact  
Elasticsearch due to CORS, it just fails the request. You might try this in  
your Elasticsearch config. You'll need to restart Elasticsearch.

http.cors.allow-origin: "/.\*/"  
http.cors.enabled: true

If that doesn't help, can you open up the firefox developer console and see  
if you have any errors there? I don't really see any issues in your logs.  
One is a 304, one is a 200, both are fine responses.
