    Problems opening pages with FF

    My internet has been playing up, google search works fine, but when I get to the site, loading a link keeps timing out, I have to stop and on the second attempt works. Also it is slow to load pages. would I be better unistalling FF and reinstalling again. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
    p.s
    All scans up to date and no problems shown

    Howdy there Tuatha! :wave:

    That sounds quite weird. Honestly, I never quite figured out a way to troubleshoot Fx. The best bet in my mind is just taking a minute or two and try reinstalling to see if it works. You won't lose any data.

    I hope one of us knows the correct answer, Tuatha! :?

    Maybe it's your internet connection, try using IE or Opera for a couple of days and see what happens.

    You don't ever use a proxy by any chance? if you do check that it's not enabled.

    Which version of Fx are you using TDD?
    I'm using 1.5beta and it is sometimes struggling to validate pages. Once ever so often it will take up to 20 seconds to open a page and other times it won't even attempt to open a page :?

    Hope it's all sorted out for the final release which is rumoured to be the 29th!

    Have you updated to Fx 1.5 RC3? After I did, I noticed it did not do that anymore..
