User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I can reproduce this error every time.  At first I thought it might be a
certificate thing but I don't see any options there that might indicate that.

Every time I try to visit www.cardmemberservices.com or online.firstusa.com with
Firebird 0.7, the browser stalls for a minute or two and returns saying that it
could not access the page.  I've e-mailed their tech support and have told me
that they are not having any problems.  I've tried another browser (Mozilla 1.4)
and I can access the site fine.

My settings are identical in terms of ad blocking so I don't think it's that.

here is the redirect snippet from www.cardmemberservices.com:
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;
url=https://online.firstusa.com/bolHome.aspx">


Do you guys have any thoughts on what's going on?

Thanks!

Worksforme with a current nightly build and the 0.7 release on WinXP. 

Please test again with a current nightly build from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/ and a fresh
profile (see http://texturizer.net/firebird/faq.html#profilemanager on how to
create a new profile). Things like that happen sometimes with an older profile.

Please make also sure that you have no additional themes and extensions
installed. Please reopen if you are still seeing this after you performed those
given steps.
