    hi all,
    i've got a problem with my o2 broadband. when i connect, a tab opens up connecting to O2 Broadband. on my friends broadband, it only pops up the once. but on mine, a tab keeps opening up every few seconds in Mozilla Firefox.
    this is the first time i've used the broadband in a good signal area (HSPA).

    anyone know how to fix this?

    are you getting any error message? are you using the latest version of firefox? does this problem occur with other browsers?, have you tried uninstaling firefox and reinstalling it?

    i found out the problem. i tried reinstalling the O2 Broadband software but that didn't work, but it turned out there were other Network connections that i used with an older modem. i deleted them and then the problem went.
    i used an older modem in sligo, cos the new one wouldn't work with a crap signal, but since i came down to galway yesterday, i used the new modem, and that's when the pr
    the only reason it kept opening in firefox, i think, was cos it's the default browser.
