First occurrence of this failure was on July 13th, 2011, with code revision # 25012.

This test verifies that the clock (Time Left) is running in Auction Monitor, and is also running when opening a second tab or window in the same browser; this is working fine in gChrome13 and IE7 browsers only.

In Firefox 3.6.18, the clock is not running when opening a second page, and this is causing the assertion in the test to fail.
In Firefox 3.6.7 (on icepc18) the auctionMonitor application cannot be loaded (http://localhost:8080/auctionMonitor), and there is an error in Firebug.
This issue has been also reproduced when opening 2 tabs in Firefox 5.0.1.

In IE 8 the clock does not work at all when loading auctionMonitor application and there is a JavaScript error:

Note that the core/auction sample seems to function correctly in all cases.
