Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Bob Ingle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows XP; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414

I connect via a cable modem. In recent weeks Mozilla has been popping up a
"Broadband Connection" window that prevents me from connecting. I can't figure
out how to eliminate that component, since I don't need it.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla; default home page opens.
2. Try to switch to a different URL.


Actual Results:  
Maybe half the time the interfering "Broadband Connection" window pops up, then
times out.

Expected Results:  
Get that popup out of the way. I don't need it for my Comcast connection.

Do you use a host file for ad-blocking ?
BTW: go to "about:config" and change network.autodial-helper.enabled to false.

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
