(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Eaton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0+

When attempting to view certain web sites, I get a dialog box with a cancel
button that says Connecting through WAN miniport (PPPoe). The web page will not
complet it's loading until I click on the cancel button. This happens everytime
with the above mentioned web site, but not with all websites. I have the the
Firefox options set to "Direct conncetion to internet." I have cable access into
a Linksys router. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter URL
2.Get dialog box.
3.

Actual Results:  
Same as described above.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the web page with no dialog box.

This is a real pain and prevent me from using the Firefox. I like all the
features and would love to use Firefox exclusively , but it is very annoying to
have to close the box everytime. I will continue to use MSIE until this is
addressed.
