After being on-line for an hour or so, the bookmarks or many links on web sites
do not work and a Firefox Error message pops up. " The site "www.etc.."  cannot
be found. Trying the link or bookmark several times it will usually make it
work.  Sometimes I can copy the link and paste it into the browser address bar
and it often works.  

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add URLS to Bookmarks
2.Surf the web to fill cache. Download a movie or 2.
3.Select a bookmark or click a link on a web site.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

This does not happen everytime, but it happens after I have been browsing or had
Foxfire open for a hour or so. Clicking the link or bookmark works sometimes
after several tries.
