I am running an iMac with the following:
OSX 10.6.1
Airport Express ver 6.3
Firefox ver 3.5.3
Here is the trouble:
When I first got my iMac, two years ago, I ran wirelessly with my Airport Express and the version of Firefox at the time no problem. After about 4-6 months I started having major wireless connectivity issues. I tried:
1. Upgrading firmware on Airport Express
2. Upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard
3. New Airport Express
4. New cable modem
5. Upgrading Firefox
6. Using a nearby wireless connection (no problems!)
Now with more tinkering I have discovered that my connectivity comes back when I shutdown Firefox. I can use Safari no problem. If I have Firefox open, the problem can occur between 1 minute and 1 day later. During the problem I lose all wireless connectivity (not just Firefox). If I shut down Firefox, connectivity returns.
So, I ask this:
Is there a known issue with Firefox and the Airport Express? If so, is there a work around? I really like Firefox and am trying to figure out a way to keep using it instead of going to Safari.
Tnx.
