Address Not Found in Firefox

[Joe2]

I am being drive absolutely crazy with Firefox 3.0.11. 99% of the time I click on a link or put a url into the address bar to search I get “Address Not Found – Firefox can’t find the server at………..URL” I the click ‘Try Again’ and the site comes up.

I’ve searched the mozilla forums and there seems to be a lot of confusion and queries on this subject but no definitive answer.

Has anyone experienced this problem and found the answer?

Your pc is probably infected. What protective softwrare have you got and what does it say when you do a FULL scan?

Before I opened this thread I did a FULL scan on Adaware and NOD32. I also did a scan with Spybot and I have Spyware Blaster installed. Everything came up clean

what happens in other browsers? i tend to think it may be related to your network configuration.

I use IE7 occasionally and there's no problem when using that.

I have this same problem. However it is with Firefox 3.5, IE8, Chrome.
I have spend endless hours with att tech support. Today I thought we finally fixed it, removed IE8. replaced it with IE7. It all worked for a while, but the problem is back. I am using XP Pro sp3. If any has an answer Please Post it. If I get it fixed I will post it.
