my harddrive is partitioned 50/50. 1st half has windows 7 on it and 2nd half has ubuntu 11.10. Since latest upgrade of firefox the linex runs ok. but the windows 7 will not connect and gives error "taking too longto connect" I have tried deleting firefox and reloading yo no avail.

The windows update sometimes creates issues. I've had this happen to me two times. I rolled back to the Firefox 8 and didn't have any problems, however one thing you can try is to increase your timeout range and try that. If its loading fine in linux we have to assume its not systemic, but is an OS issue. How long does it hang before you get the error?

Thank you for your reply. I have now deleted all firefox and loaded version 8. My problem stays. There is 37 secs before it says "it long"
