Firefox: Server Not Found problem

Anyone having probs with this?

If the 'Server not found' comes up immediately on clicking a link, it obviously didnt even try.
Esp if you refresh and it comes up correctly.

That seems to have happened to others in versions like 3.5.3 but it just started happening a lot when I installed 3.5.7
If you are having that problem, here's a possible fix just using cut, paste and click. I did the hard work for you.

PAY ATTENTION!

Open a new tab
Copy
about:config

paste in the new tab's url box, hit enter
take a deep breath, and click 'I'll be careful.. I promise'

then copy
network.dns.disablePrefetch
RIGHT CLICK in the window and select New then select boolean
paste in the box, you should see what you just copied above. click ok
choose true
click ok

You have just disabled dns prefetch. This is sorta like 'autocomplete' works when you type into a search box.

FF looks for links in a page and goes to domain name server to get the address. I gather that sometimes it gets lost on the way back.

Or something

Added: I posted this fix after just a few tries, which were primarily to make sure nothing broke. Since then I've had no 'server not founds'.
