From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010827 BuildID: 2001082708 try accessing a website that is temporatily off line brings up ultimatesearch.com. then when the website is available the browser will not get the correct website. clearing the cache and restarting the browser seems to clear the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start offline. try accessing a website. (I've done this with slashdot.org) 2. connect to the internet without stopping the browser. ultimatesearch.com comes up instead of the desired website. 3. try to access the site againe. ultimatesearch still comes up. 4.clear cache and exit browser. restart browser and correct website comes up. Actual Results: ultimatesearch.com responds instead of desired website. Expected Results: accessed the correct website or give a website unavailable message. this is annoying for dial up users, who try to access websites when disconnected from the internet. this happens with many versions of Mozilla.
Are you using a proxy server like junkbuster?
I have used Junkbuster, but this happens without using the proxy server. I have tried to get junkbuster to block the incorrect site but haven't got that to work.
junkbuster is broken, and if you used it once then the incorrect data will be in the cache. If this happens after disabling junkbuster, then clearing the cache, then restarting mozilla, reopen this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38488 ***

Hmm. Does your ipup script modify resolv.conf? Try going offline, then online, in mozilla after you connect.
This did happen when dialup was on my machine, but currently I am using a different machine for dialup and using nat for the local network. Going offline and then online in the browser seem to clear the problem.
Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps: 1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN) 2) Create a new profile 3) test the bug again If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response were quite overloaded here and understaffed.
