   problem with Firefox and OE   
   08 Mar 11 12:35:16   
   
   From: deft@hio.net   
      
   Maybe someone can help me.  This isn't a crippling issue, but one I'd like   
   to fix.  I am running Win XP SP 3 and regularly browse with the latest   
   Firefox and use OE for email/ news.  Here's are the problems I'm having:   
      
   1)  When I'm trying to use Firefox, I repeatedly have to hit the search or   
   refresh to get to webpages.  I may have to search or refresh up to ten times   
   before getting there.  My connection via DSL is at normal speed and   
   downloads, etc are fine.   
      
   2)  In OE, I have to manually invoke "receive all" often because the first   
   time when opened, I'll get an error that there was no connection.  When I go   
   to the newsgroups, I often have to "refresh" because it won't update the   
   first time opened and I get an error that the server isn't there.   
      
   To me, this sounds like a problem in either the connection somehow or in the   
   configuration that shares both the browser and OE, but I have been unable to   
   narrow it down.  I do have McAfee Site Advisor installed and I understand   
   this may be the culprit, but I think I may have had these problems before   
   its installation and I don't know how to disable it to be certain.   
      
   Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
