Apple feels that Firefox is implicated in my laptop losing my internet connection; I think they are crazy! Anyone else experienced something like this?
Had no trouble (in fact I am in LOVE) with Firefox until my ATT modem died. I switched to Charter cable and started having trouble with Firefox running for awhile and then losing connection to internet. After 5 visits to apple they are telling me it must be Firefox. I Say no. It's more likely to be Lion OS. Has anyone else experienced trouble with an apple laptop losing connections?

More Information
Changing routers didn't help. Rebooting modem may have helped.
This isn't likely to be an issue with Firefox (does your whole laptop lose connection, or just Firefox?). I would also check with your cable company, restart your cable modem, check any routers you have on the line, etc.
