Firefox just stops connecting after a short time online.

[Patrick Tarbet]

Binary package hint: firefox

Using Ubuntu 7.10, Firefox 2.0.0.11, Firefox justs quits connecting after a short while online I am using a USB wireless adapter (Netgear WG111v2) all other computers on the network are ok. I have to restart the computer for firefox to work again, but it keeps having the same problem. I have switched over to a wired connection for now to see if there is any improvement. Mozilla on Windows PC (wireless) is working fine.
