Firefox browser always times out
Hello. Whenever I try to open up Firefox via Wi-fi, the connection to a webpage always times out even when I am connected to the internet. However, when I am hardwired to the internet, Firefox has no problem opening up. The issue is only when I am wirelessly connected. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. By the way, I am running Ubuntu 13.04 (64 bit).

Thanks. I tried your suggestion and didn't solve it. It's weired, because I'm getting a strong signal, but Firefox just doesn't seem to want to let me browse when I'm in certain locations of campus.
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
Please report back soon.
