Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have been facing this problem since weeks , when I go to image.google.com and search for something , I just get empty image holders and keep loading till they timeout , same problem with many websites ....when I view same URL with konqueror or opera , images load fine !
the workaround I use for ff3 to make it work is by using VPN connection or loading the URL using a web proxy. clearing the cache doesn´t help much.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and FF 3.0.1 upgraded from within ubuntu.

Hi Cylon

Can you try to start firefox with a new profile as described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/ ?

This will help us in identifying the cause of the problem. Thank you

(possible NM bug? shall wait for more details first.)

Hi,
Thank you for you support.
I created a new profile and it works fine , but 1 week ago I removed my
entire profile from $HOME/.mozilla and I thought it was solved , my
happiness didn´t last more than 24 hours. it is just not with images ,
sometimes it never finish loading a website , clicking stop and reloading
after few minutes usually solves it.

Thank you again.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
