FF 13.0.1 hangs with Google, other browsers do not

When attempting to do an ordinary google search under FF 13.0.1, from the google.com home page, FF will hang indefinitely with no status message. This is on Vista SP2, but also happened on my friend's Macbook, also with FF 13.0.1.

This happens when 'live search' is set up. No live search results will pop up, indicating live search inaccessible. Click "search" and nothing happens. There are no messages for looking up, connecting, waiting, transferring. The browser just hangs. Will usually respond to a dismissal, but not always.

Google news will load display as always. But it will hang when you try to search within news.

When I switch to Safari, everything works.

You can check the network.http.* prefs on the about:config page and reset all bold user set network.http prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu -> Reset.

You can also try to set the Boolean pref network.http.spdy.enabled to false on the about:config page.

On your advice, I did toggle network.http.spdy.enabled to false. I also did find that network.http.keep-alive was /user-set/ to FALSE. I reset this to TRUE. After these two changes, things work again.

Funny thing was, I never did change the keep-alive parameter, and don't know what might have changed that.

Watching and waiting. Very grateful for the remote help from Krypton.
