I cannot surf web as FireFox keeps telling me it cannot find the page I am seeking, but will finally bring it up on second or third try. Judge MacLaughlin

When trying to access pages on the Web from links in Email messages, Firefox [6.0.2] will come up with an error window stating it cannot locate the page sought. If I start over it usually brings up the page, using the SAME link, on the second or third attempt.

As a Firefox user for several years with little or no problems, this is erratating and frustrating. I am on the verge of discontinuing Firefox and trying another program other than IE.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
