I made a mistake when i wrote this bug report, i was using firebird when i wrote
it but the problem was with mozilla 1.4(final) so the build identifier line is
incorrect.

Do you use a firewall like Zonealarm ?

Reporter, also: is Edit | Preferences > Networking > Proxy set to use a direct
connection to the Internet in Mozilla?

[Robert Morris]

No response from reporter in five days since the first comment, and this is
almost certainly caused by something else. Should we do something with this bug?
