Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

https://itv.com/register/default.html

Attemting to load this URL from the firefox Version Firefox/2.0.0.13 times out after a long time.

Attempting to launch the same URL from firefox (older version) from a virtual Machine running DamnSmallLinux on the same Machine works fine.

Probably some issue with the latest updates.

What version of firefox are you using in DSL that you were not able to reproduce?

I was about to reply the same thing..

It seems it is not a Firefox problem but the website that is wrongly coded.. If you access the website with http://itv.com and click on the "register" link on the top right corner of the page, you encounter a timeout. But if you access the website as http://www.itv.com and click on the link, it opens fine..

Feel free to report the Bug as Invalid.

By the way, I think the Firefox on DSL was v1.x.x not sure but will update later if required
