I search a website, find it, close it. Two minutes later I search for another website and get a "timed out" message. Shopping for holiday gifts, one website was open and in the two minutes it takes to find a phone # for a gift recipient, the site freezes. I then get a "timed out" message. Is there a setting to extend the "timed out" to perhaps 5 minutes or more?

It would appear on face value that vers.3.6.12 is a total balls up as so many of us out there are encountering more & more issues with this version.... I too have issues with this version that have been a prob;em in the past with any other version of Firefox . The sooner they release a new & " tested " working version the better off we all will be ... I guess its just a matter of time before some of us at least will start looking for another internet browser .... even if it is of a temporary nature' coz at the moment " Firefox You Suck "
