That is a very likely scenario. Firefox is only using basic HTTP
methods - GET, PUT, HEAD. A Subversion client uses other HTTP methods
related to the WebDAV protocol (which is a subset of HTTP), and many
firewalls and network configurations do filter/block those requests.

Your best bet is to speak with your network administrator and have him
put a trace on your connection, or just document filtering is being
done.
