User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110804030150

Steps to reproduce:

Well, i use windows 7 64-bit.. I use Iphone 4 to tether an internet connection. 


Actual results:

If i remove the phone (usb connected) from the computer.. then reattach it while Firefox is open, i cannot access any websites. I must shut down firefox AND kill the process in task manager. It's fine once i restart it, but happens every time if i disconnect and reconnect the phone.


Expected results:

I should be able to simply continue browsing. All my other programs continue working as normal once i re-tether (reattach) the iphone.
This occurs if i have a 2nd network connection enabled or not.. but it is there.
I can't reproduce this problem on win7/32 and android Tether with usb or wifi
