This has to be problem somewhere else than in Firefox (probably configuration problem). Certainly, that firefox works for me pretty well. Closing this bug as WORKSFORME. Reporter, if you find anything more specific about this feel free to reopen this bug with additional informations. Created attachment 147347 [details]

Do you have PANGO switched off (it is switched on per default, so if you haven't done anything to switch it off, it is on)? If yes, then this bug may be duplicate of bug 227257. No, I have not done anything to switch PANGO on or off - I don't even know what it is. The only somewhat non-standard thing I've done is to innstall Adobe's current flash plugin. Closing this as "worksforme" is something of an insult - it may work from your location, but it doesn't work reliably from mine (in fact it is still reproducably broken). I have no idea if firefox is to blame and in fact don't care what is wrong - I want to get it fixed. It could easily be that something is timing out somewhere in the web/tcp/ip stack or that I'm dealing with a flaky dsl or dns connection or something else, but it only fails when firefox is involved. And it doesn't work. Suggestions for how to diagnose the problem would be more useful. Could you give me the output of this command, please? gconftool-2 -R /system/http_proxy Here's the output from gconftool-2 -R /system/http_proxy: use_http_proxy = false use_authentication = false host = authentication_user = ignore_hosts = [localhost,127.0.0.0/8] authentication_password = port = 8080 Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.] Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the
reporter's distribution.
Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest
update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional
information.
Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA.
{This is mass-closing of all obsolete bugs; if this bug was in your opinion
closed by mistake, please, reopen it with additional information; thanks a lot
and I am sorry for bothering you in such case.}
