Comment 32 for bug 484856

Quoting WeatherGod <email address hidden>:I have placed theIP address
in the bar
of firefox which brought up the google search page, bu the computer
continued to
try to load ie the circle continued evolving, I did a couple of ping tests in
terminal again the only difference I noticed was that the ttl=240 as
opposed to
51 on previous tests. all 10 pkts were transfered and received..I also noticed
in the error console that 2 error messages were shown and one in particular
referred to file:///usr/lib/xul runner-1.9.1/components/feedProcessor.js line
1440
It appears to me that something is blocking or not connecting. Obviously I can
not search even though the google page is shown.
