I'm running 4.01 on Windows. We have a corporate proxy to get to the Internet. The problem is that when I change the way that I connect to the corporate network (e.g. switch between wired and wireless, or to VPN), FF refuses to load pages for a while ("Connection timed out"). IE and Chrome both adapt just fine, as did older versions of FF. I can fix the problem by restarting FF, and it does seem to eventually fix itself, but it takes a long time.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in such cases.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Tried that today and still got the "timed out" error.
