Well, I take back what I took back, that is, Firefox brain damage. I just discovered that two other applications fail the same way. The other affected apps are wget and checklink. The latter is a Perl link checker from W3C that uses the LWP::RobotUA, LWP::UserAgent, and Net::HTTP::Methods modules. I can work around the wget problem, but a checklink failure is a show-stopper. We use that to check for broken links in new and modified web pages. Those two apps are run from the file server on the LAN to the web sites on the DMZ (OPT1). The Firefox problem is on my workstation on the LAN. Both of those are Linux CentOS machines. Interestingly enough, my wife's Win7 Firefox, also on the LAN, does not have a problem. I'm lobbing this back into pfsense's court. > My first check is to hide the default user profile (make a new one > to use without copying over anything from the old), and see if that > takes care of things.

Thanks for the hint, but it appears not to be (just) a Firefox problem. > Kenward > -- > In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire to be > _teachers_ and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, > because passing civilization along from one generation to the next > ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone > could have. - Lee Iacocca Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc.
