There are known issues with DNS caching in Mozilla.  For more info
check out:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151929

and

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188505

In the short-term, you can force Mozilla to clear the DNS cache by
doing a "work offline" and then "work online"

HTH, YMMV, IANAL, etc..
