Description

[Don Rainnie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I have two computers running windows XP and firefox 1.04. I have a VPN
connection to my work network on both computers.  If there is a delay in
uploading any webpage, firefox tries to open the VPN connection and freezes the
internet link.  This does not happen on either computer if I run internet explorer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a desktop VPN connection but do not open the connection
2.Open firefox 
3.Search web, sooner or later forefox will try to open the VPN connection when
ther is a delay in accessing a webpage  



Expected Results:  
Nothing, the webpage should open when the feed is completed.  I don't know why
firefox tries to co-opt the VPN connection, it shouldn't.
