Hi Jim,

let's see, I have:
Blocksite 0.7,
British English Dictionary 1.19,
Download Accelerator Plus Integration 8.0.6.5,
FoxyTunes 2.9.5
IE Tab 1.3.3.20070528
ScrapBook 1.3.3.3
Skype extension for FireFox 2.2.0.70
Wizz RSS News Reader 2.1.9.8

I'll try disabling them and see if that helps.

I had downloaded and installed Fiddler some time back, but I never quite understood what I was doing with it :(

>What addons (if any) have you installed in Firefox? I've been using Firebug for development purposes, and since disabling it for the UT I haven't seen the problem since (crossing fingers, knocking on wood, etc.) Another method I tried was to install Fiddler and set Firefox to use an auto proxy configuration script through Fiddler to see what the problem really is. I could not get Firefox to fail in that configuration.
