Have been using FF2 for some time now, but I`ve started getting an irritating little problem.

Working fine until about a week ago. Now, everytime I boot it up, the broadband connects no problem, and then I get "Server Not Found" message.

However, when I click on "Try Again" a millisecond later, the page is instantly there, always. This happens with whatever my home page is, including the default Google page.

Have tried IE7 with same home pages, and it works fine.

Have not changed anything, or added any plug-ins etc. Weird. :blink:

Any ideas ?
Thanks

You can try uninstall it, and then install it again.
