I discovered that when I installed Wi-fi Radar it caused an issue from going from my home wireless network to my works wireless network. When at home my resolv.conf file had the following settings:-
search http://mydomainname
nameserver xx.xx.xxx.xx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
nameserver xx.xx.xxx.xx
When I went to my works wireless network and connected with Wi-Fi Radar , it replaced my search line, but failed to remove my home nameserver settings from the resolv.conf. This results in firefox crashing and grinding to a halt on attempting to get a connection.
If I then manually go to the resolv.conf and delete the nameserver addresses(generated from my home network) and leave the new search domain all is well.
What would cure this symptom I think would be to purge the resolv.conf file when closing down your machine. This way the resolv.conf can add the settings at startup.
