The site started working again as of today, we need to XHR to a site that's not responding to the XHR.
Someone over at the Mozilla bugtracker created a node.js server that accepts a connection but doesn't respond.

Check out the testcase mentioned in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1307122#c9 please.
