When I connect my computer to the internet at home I have no problems....But when I connect to the internet through Verizon MIFI Jetpack and try and use Mozilla after about 3 minutes it disconnects me from the internet. I have to manually reconnect and again within 3 to 5 minutes it disconnects again. It mainly happens when I am at a hotel or in the airport. I don't have this problem when I use any other browser....Only Mozilla????

The browser does not close, it just disconnects?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,
