Recently updated Firefox to version 4.0 as recommended by Firefox. Now when I launch Firefox, it does not present the "Dial" screen. (I connect via BT Voyager 105 DSL Modem).

Internet Explorer will still launch the "Dial" screen. Firefox will not. I have tried changing the Remote Access and Telephony services to automatic and restarting and this has no effect.

Firefox works fine when I open the "Network Connections" screen and "connect" to BT Broadband manually which launchs the "Dial" screen. This workaround is fine for me, but not for me cantankerous old mother who struggles with technology, please help.

You may have to configure the network settings Firefox uses. See Connection Settings Dialog
