Strange PHPDN behaviors in Firefox

Every now and again when I try to reply, post, view or anything, in Firefox 2.0.2, I get a 'Page cannot load" message. I refresh and I get nothing still. I open the forums in IE or opera and it loads fine. Go back to Firefox, and nothing still.

Does anyone have any idea how in the blazes this could happen? I tried clearing the browser cache and that does not work. it just seems like Firefox does not want to load the page eventhough IE and Opera will.

I have had the same problem, with FF 1.5 (I think) right up to the latest release. No other phpBB forum I visit has the same problem.

A bit odd, but I'm noticing it's failing a bit more often today. It doesn't seem to follow a pattern - just access issues for one or two attempts before it get back to normal. Might be more a server issue than anything else?

From past experience, intermittent problems like that are usually due to one nameserver not set up correctly but in this case them seem to be fine. Must be server problems, but I can't say I've had any problems.

I always just assumed it was a server problem... probably has to do with Firefox giving up on the connection sooner than IE

I get this on 2 different machines that use multiple connections. (Home PC and work Laptop) all using latest FF.

I begin to wonder if it is a Firefox issue and not so much a site issue. I have yet to encounter this with IE or Opera.

could be both.. I often see "waiting for http://www.googleanalytics.com" in my FF status bar. Maybe FF doesn't like such redirects/includes or similar?

Me too Jenk. If I was to take a stab in the dark at anything it would be that Google thing redirecting us.
