Not seen that. Try looking through the preferences, especially the Advanced/Proxy ones. No idea why it would suddenly happen, though.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, it is confusing me too as I have not touched the Mozilla preferences since I originally set it up ages ago, and certainly not during the three minute gap while I checked my emails last night, though that does not mean of course that there may be a fundamental mistake in my settings which has only now come to light!
Looking in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies I have a dot in the circle: "Direct connection to the internet". This makes all the boxes in the "Manual proxy configuration" section beneath it, and the "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" below that, empty and greyed out.
I access the internet though an NTL broadband connection. Do you think I should perhaps disable the "Direct connection" option and insert some URLs into the "HTTP Proxy" and associated "Port" boxes under the "Manual Proxy Configuration" section???
