Dear Mr. Marconi, As far as I know, yes, though I can't yet comment about 'Maverick.'. I recently effected a clean install of 'Lucid' onto an older netbook (after wiping it with DBAN) and the problem cropped up again. Fortunately I now know how to fix it! I find it strange that, after all this

Let me try to clarify this: I install 'Karmic' and everything works fine. At the end of the day of installation, I turn off both my computer and my wireless router. The next day, when I turn on the computer and the router (with the workaround not applied) Firefox will not connect to most web sites

Dear Alexander, I can reproduce the problem by reversing the workaround. We turn off our wireless (Verizon DSL) router, an ActionTec GT704WG, at night when we go to bed. We also turn off our computers. On the first day of the clean installation of Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox and everything else works

Lawrence, Thanks for initiating this post. I have been dealing with this exact same behavior using Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix on both an HP mini and Dell Inspirion Mini for the last few days. I have yet to try the solutions posted by Wojox and actionparsnip, but will this evening when I get home

Dear Joe, I could not understand why no one else complained of this problem; I thought, how could I be the only one? And the same problem affected both my and my wife's computers (identical models, however). So while I'm sorry you've had the problem, I am glad that evidently I am not the only

I'm not going to be able to solve it, but the obvious next thing to try is a different browser, such as epiphany-browser, arora, or konqueror. This should distinguish something absolutely specific to Firefox from a more general problem with Ubuntu's connection to the network. Load the same site in

Dear Mr. Kluyver, First let me apologize if I offended anyone. I am not familiar with the ways of Ubuntu Bug Groups and, frankly, I'm a bit desperate as both my wife and I depend to a great deal on our computers (as I'm sure do most people here). In any event, I did try both Epiphany and
