User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Should be consistent with IE setting: IE Tools/Internet Options/Connections. If 'Never dial a connection' is checked, FF should not attempt to dial out. Currently, the only way to stop a dial out is by checking one of the dial-up prompt settings, which means that the dial-up user always has to connect using the password box for instance. Alistair Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use dial-up ccn. Open IE and make settings 'never dial a connection' 2. Connect using DUN, then open url in IE. Close DUN. 3. Refresh page in IE - it does not auto dial out like FF does, which can cause user to have to pay for DUN connect if for example page auto-refresh and user away from PC. Actual Results: NA Expected Results: Follow example of IE - for once it has a superior operation ;-) Suggest that FF has this option included in its own Connection Settings perhaps using the same registry entry that IE uses??
