Windows 8 ... Firefox 23.1 ........ After 15 minutes of no activity, internet connection is lost. Have to then use the very long NETWORK SECURITY KEY to sign back on to internet connection. How can I keep internet connection from automatically shutting down?

hello, i don't think that this is an issue that might be related to firefox in particular. please consult your internet service provider or network administrator - this will give you a better chance to get an answer that can solve your problem.
