Firefox randomly gives "server not found" message quite often. I click retry and then it loads fine.

Firefox randomly gives me the "Server not found" message quite often. I click Retry and then it loads up just fine. It is not on any specific website - just seems random. but it is often enough that it is annoying. It is almost every day, and then sometimes several times in a day.

This happened

A few times a week

== Dont' remember, but it's been happening for a few months at least.

I am seeing the same thing...Did 3.6.8 wipe out my "prefetch" fix??

Same problem here. Once you click "Retry" it works on the first or second try.

At least on one computer the "disable Prefetch" had been disabled by the new program. It is behaving better no that I re-enabled the disable...

I am getting this since the update of firefox to 3.6.8 but noticed only when operating with "Thomson TG585 v7" router. Could this have something to do with the issue?

Issue with Firefox 4. Not a firewall problem, and my wifi works with other electronics accessing the internet. Only way the problem will resolve itself is if I restart Firefox.
