685583 2008-07-05 17:04:00 For the past 2-3 days now, after having browsed anywhere from 5-10 page, I suddenly get the error below. I had it with FF 2 before, yesterday installed FF 3 and it has started happening again. It's really starting to annoy me big time. Anyone know what the problem could be? or is this a FF bug? have not experienced this under IE.

"Failed to Connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.co.nz."

685584 2008-07-05 20:07:00 This appears to be a problem with FF and Google.There are solutions if you put
Firefox,google,server in to Google you will find one.

i'd try disabling IPv6 first if it were me, but it might not be that at all :D

685586 2008-07-06 01:57:00 did you try uninstalling FF first and then doing a clean install of it? kennie (10559)
685587 2008-07-06 02:35:00 Have you got AVG 8 installed.
This can cause Firefox to crash which isn't quite your problem but the information at this link might be worth loking at.

The only recently installed software I have is Trojan Remover. That was some weeks ago and this FF problem started happening only a few days ago.

I did a clean install of both FF 2 and then later FF 3 and I kept getting the same problems.
