Role could not be found when registering with Firefox

We have all users in LDAP, so we let also register them (= first login) via LDAP. They should be assigned the roles Blogger and Customer (= hard coded in LDAP module). However, this only works with a Chromium browser. Doing so with Firefox (similar language settings), we get

Zeile #1: Rolle: Kunde konnte nicht gefunden werden
(means: Role: Customer could not be found)

Any idea what Firefox and Chromium do differently?
