Sometimes a DNS lookup fails, its life, it happens. When working with a satellite connection that has a normal 700ms ping, packets are easily broadcast into the black hole just to the left of the satellite. I think the aliens are going to be very confused by my DNS requests. Satire aside,

Clicking refresh doesn't help, neither does Command + Shift + R

I have to go visit the site in Chrome and then go back to FF a few minutes later.

It's really annoying, when FF instantly gives up trying to look up a website that was just working fine for the past hout.

Is there any about:config tweak to enable retry DNS?

Yes i like that, as i always said "life is dead without humor" :-):-)

any luck with Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4( for IPv4) OR 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844 (forIPv6)

thank you

EDIT : see the next if fit for that case : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dns-flusher/

I should have noted that I run a local DNS server on my computer to cache requests/prevent this issue and I have multiple DNS providers the server points to so yes to Google DNS.

I will try the addon and see, thanks!
