(In reply to comment #1) > Is this the firstrun page? Maybe there's a problem with the url, I'd suggest > trying google... No, as you can see from the screenshot, I am attempting to load www.mozilla.org. I also tried this with www.google.ca and achieved the same result. It appears as though this is a 32-bit build and I am using a 64-bit OS. The archive name "firefox-3.5b99.tar.bz2" does not indicate that this will NOT work on 64-bit. Traditionally, platform is indicated in the file name. Leaving this information out makes me think this is not a bit-specific build. This is where I got confused I suppose. Resolving this bug INVALID. I'll just have to wait until we get 64-bit builds.

Could be bug 414197. You could you try setting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true and see if it helps.
(restoring INVALID, don't think Sylvain meant to re-open this as the other bug is also INVALID)

I didn't reopen it, it wasn't marked INVALID before. Maybe Anthony wanted to test with the 64-bit build before marking it so? But in any case I agree it shouldn't block. If someone seeing the symptoms can confirm this is bug 414197 we can mark it as a duplicate.
There is no 64 bit build. the same build is used for 32 and 64. Firefox.next may have 64 bit, but not now. Have you checked for firewall settings? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+cannot+load+websites+but+other+programs+can may help.

Actually, we do create 64-bit builds, for Linux. We don't on Windows, but Linux we do. We have for a long time. This is because I was running a 32-bit build on 64-bit.
Marking verified. No 64-bit builds existed at the time and I assumed the 32-bit build would work. Running the same build on 32-bit worked. No further action needs to be taken on this bug.

Just to clarify, there are 64-bit builds for nightlies, but not for official Linux releases (no 64-bit builds are available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.5b4/).
Yes, that was what I meant, sorry for the confusion.
Which brings me to the point: Users on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit that may want to give 3.5 a try may encounter this issue, because they won't be able to get a 64-bit builds from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html. So maybe the release notes should mention that if users on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit are getting "Server not found" error messages, they should install the lib32nss-mdns package.
Marking as a dupe of 414197, please correct if you have another explanation.
