Hi, I am running the latest version of Firefox and at times it fails to connect to the internet. This is a intermittent problem. It also (sometimes) take very long to open after I open Firefox?

Firefox does not always connect to the internet or is very slow to open. It is not with specific sites and when it does happen I have to either wait or shut down and restart the computer. It does not happen with my other browsers. (Google chrome)

I have been having the same problem, it's as if Firefox's internet connection is broken at intermittent intervals. I tried disabling all my plugins, creating a new profile, everything on the page below and even updated to version 8, but nothing helped. I think it's been happening for a weeks or so, maybe since an update(?) but it seemed a lot worse today. It's not my connection as I've been using Chrome as an alternative which works fine. I have not tried rebooting my machine.

I deleted, Norton as I have Trend antivirus, speedbit and DAP. Since I have done that my Firefox is working perfectly again.
