270713 - FireFox reports an Alert " the operation timed out when attempting to connect to www.radical.ca". The website works in IE.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[William Jordan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

This is a functioning website that loads and behaves normally in IE but not in
FireFox.  I doubt that Radical Entertainment would block the use of Mozilla on
their website.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://www.radical.ca in the navigation bar
2. Press Enter
3. Wait for above alert message - click ok and retry

Actual Results:  
The same result as previously stated - this website won't load.

Expected Results:  
Laoded the website and allowed full browsing of its contents.

I think if you can't get to a normally coded website that's a huge problem. 
This is not the first website that I've found that gets this alert message so I
will try to list the others.  Initially I thought it was the websites but I
happened to check www.radcial.ca in IE and discovered the problem was with FireFox.

This works for me. That message shows a network connection problem, not
something that should be firefox specific. Can you reproduce this consistently?
I also notice that you made a typo in the report, writing www.radcial.ca once
and www.radical.ca the other time. That could also cause that dialog to appear.

Also the same issue with www.integratedmar.com

Yes Gavin, so far 10 times and 10 Alerts as stated in my bug report.  Each time
after I get the Alert I open IE and try the same link http://www.radical.ca;
sorry about the typo but I always type it correctly in the browser.  I have
had no attempts that get the website to load but IE works everytime.  Hoped this
helps.

I'm running Windows 2000 with Mozilla FireFox, and I don't get this problem. If
you are having this problem with more than one website, you may want to try to
delete cookies and cache: Tools, Options, Privacy, and click "Clear" next to
both cookies and cache. Exit out of FireFox, go back in, and try again. If it
still is not working, you may want to try reinstalling with the latest FireFox
download.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
