Status: RESOLVED INVALID

As a guest of the new Wynn Resort in Las Vegas 6/10/05 I had to use their 
portal to access the internet from my room.

I have checked out of the hotel.

I am at the airport using an air card.

Of the 10 tabs I normally use, 6 of them will not allow me to see the original 
sites.  Instead I get the Wynn hotel sign on screen.  It will not let go.

How do I release this to get my "tabs" back?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.You would have to be a hotel guest I assume.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The web page line shows the wsj.com site, but even starting a new tab, every 
time I try to access it, I am locked to the Wynn Resort sign on page.

I forgot to mention when I use IE I can get to the wsj.com and other sites.

Try toggling the "Work Offline" option in the File menu.

Here are some 'dumb' things to try, from just an average dumb user (me) :-) -->

1) Try using the refresh button

2) Try emptying the browser's cache, and cookies.
I think you are seeing a cached copy. 

3) I don't much about plugins, but I suppose they may have installed a browser
plugin. You can see the list of plugins installed by typing: about:plugins in
the address bar. Plugins are stored in the plugins directory in your mozilla
profile directory. If you can identify a plugin positively responsible, you can
delete it (which removes the plugin).   

Finally, you could ask Wynn casinos over the phone or email, they probably have
 a toll free line, and would absolutely love to talk to you :p.

This is going to be rather hard to reproduce with the current information. Can
you provide more specific information on how to duplicate? See the Bug Writing
