I've not seen these symptoms described elsewhere. There are lots of discussion of "Server Not Found", but not as an intermittent problem.

1. I get "Server Not Found" on about 10-15% of my attempts to load websites. The error seems random, as there is no obvious pattern as to when and where it will occur. The same site might wor fine the first time and them the I get the error message if I try again a few minutes later, or vice versa.

2. The problem usually goes away with with a second click, but not always.

3. On a few clicks, the page only loads partially.

4. I've tested Waterfox and it seems to happen there as well. I don't have this problem with chromium.

5. Running Firefox 52, Win 7.

As the problem is not always present, this could be a challenge.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Call up several websites over the next 15-20 minutes.
