> Firefox continues to resolve addresses correctly. > > Do we know of a difference between Firefox and Chromium in how they interact > with wins? This may provide further answers as to why Firefox has difficulty > with wins in my system whereas Chromium does not. A quick test shows that chrome uses getaddrinfo just like firefox. Given that first getaddrinfo in the python test succeeded and also that firefox resolves correctly with hook3.so (which adds some delay by printing result to console), the problem might be when subsequent call to getaddrinfo is called too quickly after previous call and something in wins code doesn't have time to fail and clean up. Could you please do another test? - put wins back to nsswitch.conf - run the old test to make sure it still fails - run this new test which sleeps between getaddrinfo calls Also, would you mind sharing your /etc/samba/smb.conf ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796979 Title: Intermittently can't connect to the server Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Intermittently while browsing old and new sites, I run into a Server Not Found, "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.", "We can’t connect to the server" page. To workaround I will often hold down the enter key to rapidly re-attempt to get to the page or close the tab, try again, and repeat until I get through. The latter is successful much more often than the former. Running in a new Firefox profile and in safe mode seems to make no difference. I had mistakenly made a submission to launchpad without running ubuntu-bug firefox. This is the submission using ubuntu-bug.
