As odd as it may sound, I noticed similar behavior at my last job when Firefox was having trouble reading any of its local files... so, I'd make sure your file system isn't full-up. -- Only thing I can think of. In our case, the directories were mounted over the network and when the machine they existed on bogged down, Firefox would start taking forever while Chrome and Ice Weasel were working fine. But, given that Chromium is working (on the same PC, right?) -- then it's almost definitely a Firefox issue. -- If it wasn't only Firefox, I would say reset all the network connections... I had a laptop that got really funky with DNS look-ups after a while on the wireless, but resetting the network would always fix it. But, since Chromium works (thus DNS lookups are fine), I doubt it's this. Hope that helps. If not, hopefully someone else has some better ideas! -Andrew Thank you, Andrew Dahl BS Computer Science 2011 Minnesota State University Moorhead 218-585-9008 | dahlan at mnstate.edu | http://www.drewdahl.com On Mon, Nov 12, 2012 at 1:48 AM, Kat Toomajian <zarhooie at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello again! > > For reasons that I have not been able to determine, Firefox is acting like > it is losing its connection to the internet on a regular basis.
