89129 - Connect fail on https site, then no connect possible in Windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 89826

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect, P2)

Description

[Simon Coffey]

Mozilla 0.9.2
Have been using 0.9.2 for 3 days, I've now on 6 occasions had a problem that
occurs whilst browsing https sites.  After some time browsing a site (I have yet
to identify a particular action, or page, that triggers the problem, one guess
is slow sites/connection) the error "The connection was refused when attempting
to contact ..." is displayed.   Fine, maybe theres a problem at the server. 
However, after this, NO connection is possible to ANY site from any application
in Windows  - e.g. I try Mozilla to different sites, Mozilla Mail, Netscape,
I.E., NSNOTIFY, Yahoo Messenger... all get connection failed messages or
equivalent.  Exiting from Mozilla clears the problem, and if restarted, I can
access that https site again.. for a while. The https sites I've seen the
problem on so far are:  www.barclaycard.co.uk, olb2.nationet.com,
www.virgintrainsfares.co.uk.

Bug 88839 looks similar but doesnt appear to affect all applications.

Looks like a dupe of bug 88839 on Win98

dub of bug 89826 Descriptions of the bugs are too similar not to be a dup.  bug
88839 is a different one.

I had forgotten about reporting this bug!

All these years on,  I'm on Firefox 1.0 - and haven't seen this bug for years. 

So as far as I am concerned, resolved.

Thanks!
