Domain not found w/firefox but safari's ok?

[Wie Gehts]

I'm coming across this bit of annoyance lately that has to do with me going to a url in firefox and sometimes getting a 'domain not found'. But if I go and open the same url in safari, the website comes up. Then just to check, I'll go back in firefox and its still not working. Then after awhile firefox will work again.
Anybody notice this too?

Thanks

which version of firefox are you using?

does clear cookies and caches help?

Have you tried typing this in... firefox?

type this address--> "about:config"

click -- I'm crazy and want to void the warranty

type in this filter--> "ipv6"

double click on--> "network.dns.disableipv6"

Which should now be set to a value of true.

The problem I had last night was going to Gmail on firefox, It would not let me! Then I was able to get in via Safari. I have not gone back to see if the problem got resolved or not but will let you all know by tomorrow. Also, I don't know if any one has been having crashes due to a "flash plug-in". I tried to view youtube vids, and all of a sudden either Firefox and or Safari crashes without warning or explenation!? anyone, anyone, anyone???

I have whatever the latest version is.
Not sure if its a cache problem as I haven't changed my behaviour with regards to cleaning it out except that it seems to be a recent problem.


Sunbaked, could you say what exactly that thing you wrote does before I give it a shot? thanks. Who new stuff like that was accessible. Its a shock to me! lol

Turns off IPv6 inside Firefox, if Firefox is hanging on DNS and running really slow when clicking on a link or failing, this should speed things back up and reduce a good chunk of those Firefox-based DNS issues.

Besides, who knew there was a warranty with firefox you'd possibly be voiding anyhow. Not like you'd contact them for warranty service anyways.
