Description

[Jacquie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: firefox 0.0.9

Slipstream Data Speedwire connection accelerator for dial-up version 3.1.68 is 
incompatible with firefox.  Symptoms include: speedwire will not load, data 
compression failure, firefox not connecting to internet, random connection 
crashes and disconnects.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install speedwire, and firefox
2.check speedwire statistics after loading firefox
3. attempt loading pages in net.  Error messages WILL include "page not 
found" "connection time out" "page name not found" 

Actual Results:  
1. speedwire shut down
2. unable to connect to any pages, even homepage after intital page load, one 
click until disconnect and redial.

Expected Results:  
Speedwire should load, compress page data for quicker load, pages should be 
acessible under normal net conditions.  

According to reachone.com tech (who also use firefox on home p.c's) speedwire 
is not currently compatible with firefox.  I can use one or the other but not 
both, which meant disabling firefox.

I can't see a bug in Firefox here, it looks more like this additional tool is
broken.
