Hi all,
Recall that sometime back, i reported a problem with certain internet banking
sites when using Firefox on Ubuntu. i.e. the page would load for sometime, then
get stuck without progress. A refresh would trigger the loading again, this
time getting further, but still getting stuck after a while. After several
refreshes, the page finally loads completely.
Well, today, it seems that the same thing is happening to all the sites that
i'm visiting (Yahoo, Google, Facebook, etc). i've done things such as
restarting the comp, restarting the broadband modem, but to no avail.
1. i didn't get the same problem with Firefox on XP.
2. i had problems even visiting my modem setup page (i.e. 192.168.1.254), no
such problem with Firefox on XP.
3. While i'm having problems with Firefox, a separate process pinging Google
continuously and concurrently does not seem to be affected.
i'm suspecting some of my network or Firefox settings might not be good, though
i did not change anything recently. The test with the modem setup page really
seemed to indicate problems at my end, rather than the ISP or simply all the
sites that i've visited... but i don't really know where to even start
diagnosing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Regards,
Edwin (one of the rare times sending from an XP...)
