I open an HP at Mcdonalds. Firefox loads fine and the bar on the computer shows connected to the network. Firefox does not display the Mcdonalds sign in screen. after several reloads and attempts to connect the Mcdonalds sign on screen will finally display. After sign in everything works fine. I have most current version of FireFox . System is new and on Windows 7 Machine is an HP with i7 processor.

Same version on a thinkpad under XP works fine every time.

Thanks for any advice you can give
