A few days ago, spotty 'the file (url after the .com/) cannot be found' 
messages. Got worse. At this point, I cannot follow links at all. Unless 
sometimes.

pages tried - partial list
twincities.indymedia.org
www.startribune.com
www.cnn.com
slashdot
www.guardian.co.uk
www.workdayminnesota.org
 Every link is returning that message. At one point, I hit the back button to 
get to a page after it failed to load the new page and it was not able to go 
there.

Pages load from links in email, mostly, from bookmarks, but not at all when I 
follow them. Typing a unfollowable link's url into the addy bar does not work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled a fresh download of Mozilla 1.1 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a webpage
2. Click on a link
3. Look bemused as it gives the error message
4. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Actual Results:  
I looked bemusedly at the error message

Expected Results:  
Allowed access to the content of the page

Changed to different theme - same thing.
