279161 - Start can't find any URL in location bar.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[William Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; FunWebProducts-MyWay; FunWebProducts; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0

When Mozilla Firefox 1.0 loads there is a message box that says "Start 
Mozilla.org could not be found".  Please check the name and try again.  The 
same message displays when other URLs are typed in the Location Bar. I am on a 
broadband wireless connection through a router that contains a firewall.  
Internet Explorer has no trouble connecting with the server as you can see 
because I am using IE right now to contact you.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click the desktop icon for Mozilla Firefox.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Home page loads, but a message box immediately appears that 
states, "mozilla.org could not be found.  Please check the name and try 
again."  Other URLs typed in the loaction bar have the same rsult.

Expected Results:  
Home page should load, and access to URLs on the web should be loaded when 
typed in the location bar.

Do you have a proxy?  Have you forgotten to configure it?

This is often a Firewall/Proxy Server Issue. Make sure FF is allowed to Access
the Internet and (if you have a Proxy) these Settings are correct in FF.
