I get Bad Request (Request Header Too Long) on a site in our intranet. It used to work with earlier versions of Firefox and it works ok with IE6. Also it will work if I use the server IP address instead of the server name. I've cleared cookies, deleted cookies.sqlite but nothing seems to fix problem

URL of affected sites

http://
