For the past couple of weeks, I get the following quite often when following links on the web or in emails (not necessarily mozilla.org):

Server not found


         Firefox can't find the server at www.mozilla.org.
 Check the address for typing errors such as
   ww.example.com instead of
   www.example.com
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Multiple retries usually gets me to the link. This does not happen with Windows Explorer.
