Firefox.com Firefox can't completely Download files — at Version 4

Description (last modified by )
I have been running into what appears to be a bug with VirtualBox.
Host OS is Windows7 SP1 x64 with the latest updates. Guest OS is Centos 7.1 x64 with the latest updates.
When we use Firefox from www.firefox.com, it freezes when we try to download a file.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start Guest OS
- Immediately launch Firefox (38.2.1ESR or the latest 40.x release) and try to download a file (In our case, it is a epub file, http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~jr/epub/w/CV.epub)
- Firefox should them freeze
If you close the VM and restart the VM, Firefox should be able to download the file. If you reboot the host and retry the steps above you will reproduce the FF download failure.
If you look a Wireshark trace during the download you actually see the file start to download, but it seems that it isn't getting fully processed/closed/or TCP session closed.
Google Chrome/wget doesn't have this issue. It seems to tied to the FF from firefox.com
I am able to reproduce this with VirtualBox 5.0.2 and 5.0.4. VirtualBox 4.3.30 doesn't have this issue.
See the attached log and network captures.

Replying to paulg.ca:
How can I upload the Wireshark network trace files. The 512KB limit seems kinda small for log files, can this be increased?
Not easily. Can you put your capture some place accessible and provide the url here?
