try accessing a website that is temporatily off line brings up
ultimatesearch.com.  then when the website is available the browser will not get
the correct website.  clearing the cache and restarting the browser seems to
clear the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start offline.  try accessing a website. (I've done this with slashdot.org)
2. connect to the internet without stopping the browser.  ultimatesearch.com
comes up instead of the desired website.
3. try to access the site againe. ultimatesearch still comes up.
4.clear cache and exit browser. restart browser and correct website comes up.

Actual Results:  ultimatesearch.com responds instead of desired website.

Expected Results:  accessed the correct website or give a website unavailable
message.

this is annoying for dial up users, who try to access websites when disconnected
from the internet.
this happens with many versions of Mozilla.

Are you using a proxy server like junkbuster?

Comment 2

[seidel]

I have used Junkbuster, but this happens without using the proxy server.  I have
tried to get junkbuster to block the incorrect site but haven't got that to work.

junkbuster is broken, and if you used it once then the incorrect data will be in
the cache.

If this happens after disabling junkbuster, then clearing the cache, then
restarting mozilla, reopen this bug.

No this problem occures without junkbuster and can be reproduce using only one
browser window.

Hmm. Does your ipup script modify resolv.conf?

Try going offline, then online, in mozilla after you connect.

Comment 6

[seidel]

This did happen when dialup was on my machine, but currently I am using a
different machine for
dialup and using nat for the local network.  Going offline and then online in
the browser seem to clear the problem.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.
