I instaled the most recent version of Firefox and have noticed this: In my bookmarks toolbar, I have nine websites saved. I can click on one website and get a "
"page cannot be displayed" message, click on a second website, it loads. Click on a third, "page not displayed", click on a fourth, loads correctly. I'm running Windows XP with the latest service pack, my machine has a large HD and adequate RAM. I have not noticed this before updating to the newest version of Firefox. Problem with my computer? Or Firefox??

I tried IE and the same thing. However, things returned to normal after I rebooted my computer,
Do you mean IE is also becoming unresponsive. If so that may be an indication that whatever the fault is it is not Firefox itself.

I had to wait for it to screw up again, because it's not every time, every day.
If it is an intermittent problem that comes and goes it could be a problem with your internet connection or for instance a WiFi problem; if that is how the computer connects.

Check the bookmarked links, are they correct or old/corrupted?
Will the same links open in Internet Explorer?
I had to wait for it to screw up again, because it's not every time, every day. Okay, today same thing with Firefox...I couldn't open GMAIL or three other sites. I tried IE and the same thing. However, things returned to normal after I rebooted my computer, so do I need to do this every time Firefox is unresponsive? I might add, for what it's worth, I'm running Windows XP and connect as a guest on my router. The Internet comes into the house on a phone wire, to the ISP's little black box, then my Netgear router. ALl of this is on the other side of the house, and I get the Internet as a guest, wirelessly. My signal strength has always been excellent. Maybe my connection needs to be "refreshed" at times??
Mozilla says you replied but I cannot see your response. They seem too, to be so eager to have be say the problem is resolved when it isn't.
