[Bug 137419] Firefox broken for internet sites

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am running VMware Server 1.0.3 on Slackware 12 (2.6.21.5 smp kernel).
I installed Ubuntu 7.04 onto a new VMware machine without flaw.
Everything, as far as I can tell, works fine (except for browsing).

I tried both NAT'ed and Bridged network connections, same results. I
could ping google.com (or its resolved IP address) correctly from bash,
and also wget worked correctly. When I opened up Firefox, I could surf
to an intranet site (by hostname or IP address), but if I tried
google.com or its resolved IP address, it would not work (took 3-5
minutes just to time out).

I temporarily resolved this by installing konqueror and it worked
correctly.

Thanks,  very nice product you guys put together.
