    Hi all,

    I tried to perform a speedtest on my connection and normally use the following site
    http://internetfrog.com/mypc/speedtest/
    But when I tried today, firefox just closed with no error message.

    Also when I Right-Click an image on Firefox and select Save As the response time is very slow. And when I try to change the directory I save in the Program crashes - again with no error message.

    I tried the same site both in IE and Opera and its fine.

    I have cleared cache, cookies. I tried Firefox in Safemode as well.

    Has anybody had any similar problems and a suggestions as to what is going on?

    The speedtest is a Java Applet, could this be the problems.

    OS: WinXP SP2
    Firefox: Ver 1.5

    try this place for the speedtest - ADSLGuide

    It has good troubleshooting if it doesnt work.

    Its a very good speed test.

    I have the same config as you Quazzy and can use the site without problems. Maybe worth manually updating the Java runtime... HERE

    :)

    Eurika:

    It turned out to be my firewall causing the problems. Now everything is running smoothly again.
