(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Bob Lukens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

I have been using Firefox successfully as my browser for many months on my 
Windows XP. About a month ago the browser would not acces the internet.  It 
always gave the error: start.mozilla.org could not be found.  Further, any web 
site that I would put in would give the same error, i.e. xxxx could not be 
found. Internet Explorer is working perfectly (as witnessed that I am able to 
send this report).  I also uninstalled Firefox and did a new download - same 
problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.On the Firefox cover page enter any valid web site, such as www.mozilla.org.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
As described above it always gave an error: www.mozilla.org could not be found.

Expected Results:  
Accessed the specified web site.
