I got this message:
The server at antro-co0ler.com is taking too long to respond.

Note that http://www.antro-co0ler.com/ is not working at all - you always get a 400-error, whatever browser you use.

Dennis, I want everybody to use the best possible browser. Let's be decent to each other, ok?

Unforunately searching google is a non determinstic STR. I just did as you described and no link to antro-co0ler.com came back near the top for me.
I just tried antro-co0ler.com (and www.*) in FF4 and recvd the 404 Jo notes. I will try with a nightly a little later, I don't have one loaded on this laptop right now.
Can you please provide the build id of the browser you have trouble reaching antro-co0ler.com with and confirm that you are not seeing the 404. Please also reconfirm using safe mode.
If this doesn't describe the problem you are having please help me understand in detail how to reproduce it. Thanks.

I want firefox to succeed by all means. I used the latest hourly on win7 built from: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4e4c7457e8f7
I used a brand new profile and was trying to find a program or addon to help me move my passwords over, but I eventually found an addon in AOM.
It appears this morning, but maybe the link is gone now after I search.
I got the connection failure on more than link this morning. I even cleared all my history and it happened again. I see some of the items I clicked on didn't show up on google searches. I think the domain I listed was attached to another link I clicked on.

It's called sync and already integrated.
Without STR this is incomplete.
Please include the URL the next time: right click on the google search result and select "copy link result" and paste it in your bug report (the URL field at the top report).

if you set network.http.connection-retry-timeout to 0 (in about:config), you can disable the quick-connect-retry feature. What happens if you try that ?
Note that with or without this setting, I'm always getting a 400 "bad request" error. Not a 404.

I set it higher and it seemed to help, and I tried to increase network.proxy.autoconfig_retry_interval_max to 500 and it seemed to help.

the addon was much faster than trying to figure how to add another profile to sync.

Thanks for the info. That page loads fine for me using the nightly using a variety of different timeouts.
1] can you retest with network.http.connection-retry-timeout set to 0. I know you said you used a higher number, but I am interested in 0 specifically. Set it to 0 and then maybe even restart the browser (this will clear any existing connection tables - just in case)
2] I didn't realize you were using a http proxy. How is it configured (by config, by wpad, etc..)? That might be relevant - worth testing out.

hmm.. proxy, well, I don't have one configured..and always used the default settings. But I did find something odd, its happened before and a possible loophole/hijacking security bug in Firefox. where my google search engine is redirecting results clicks to other domain links. Thats how I ran into that antro-co0ler.com domain again doing a different search using web search engine google. The status link shows the correct link, but clicking on the link takes me somewhere else..

oh.. you said you fiddled with network.proxy.autoconfig_retry_interval_max and that helped. That config property doesn't do anything if you're not using looking for a proxy.
please report back with the connection-retry-timeout set to 0 test. Thanks.

I haven't had a chance to test this thoroughly yet, been real busy.
Yeah, I didn't notice that proxy part in the name.. but I had set connection-retry-timeout to 500. setting to 0 seems to be working.
I also found the source of my redirection to bad links problem: Google Redirect Virus which can modify the windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file to add another entry to use to redirect, as well as install rooted files and create hidden devices in the device manager on your machine, which causes other program not to respond.
