Hum, so wget can connect. Have you tried disabling all your firefox Add-ons to see if it works? Also, is anything set up for proxy in Firefox?
There is no proxy. But I have found another strange behavior that may give a clue to people with more insight than me: When such a URL as: <http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1139395637450&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull> is placed in the navigation field, I did arrive at the proper page. When I tried truncating the subdirectories, leaving only <http://www.jpost.com>, however, I was returned to my own site, which appears to be the default for unknown URLs. I have to say that I have never understood how or why the browser makes this connection, since the URL of my site is NOT the home page listed in the Preferences. In any case, now it seems clear that Firefox can find the jpost server if the page is specified, but is somehow stuck on avoiding the naked base URL. Also that wherever the sticking place is, it affects not only FF, but also Opera and Konqueror.
