firefox 3 timing out repeatedly

 

symptoms: browser times out repeatedly when trying to send web forms, yahoo mail works funny and you need to logout and login again.

solution:
  1. do a Ctrl-Alt-Del
  2. go to the processes tab
  3. click on the image name title to sort by it
  4. find AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, click on it, and click the end process button and click yes.
  5. find mDNSResponder.exe, click on it, and click the end process button and click yes.
  6. find AppleItunesHelper.exe (ItunesHelper.exe?), click on it, and click the end process button and click yes.

Suddenly your forms should go through if they haven't timed out yet.

Note: this will cancel itunes ability probably, so if you want itunes, you may need to reboot.
