I can replicate these failures under Windows XP using Firefox 10.0.1 as well. It seems that Mozilla broke backwards compatibility there. If you only care about using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, you should be able to force-install MozRepl, as MozRepl::RemoteObject uses a different method of transferring (resp. delimiting) data. At least, the test suite for both modules still pass even though the test suite for MozRepl fails.
Update: It seems that most (but only) MozRepl plugins are affected, like the JSON plug-in. I haven't looked at what could be the cause though.

Thank you. Using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is indeed my goal. After forcing installation of MozRepl, I was able to install MozRepl::RemoteObject, but WWW::Mechanize::Firefox fails some tests:

This could be a problem with the local test server not starting up or the browser not (always) getting a connection to it. Is the machine under heavy load? THe tests expect the server to be up after 1 second or so...
The second error seems to be that cookies are not sent, or already have expired. The test cookies get an expiry of 5 seconds. If the machine is under heavy load, that timeout might be too fast, as well...
