I think the problem is Firefox but..........
I have an interesting problem which has shown up several times in the last few days. While using Firefox on Linux Mint I am finding that it stops getting a connection to websites in a number of open tabs. Any that have been streaming video stay working but all other pages fail to reload existing page or fetch new pages. If I open another Firefox window it fails to fetch any pages. The lockout clears if I close all of Firefox down and open it again, access to websites is restored.
As restarting Firefox clears the problem I am assuming that Firefox is the culprit but it may not be. I looked to see if a later version of Firefox is available but failed to find one. The machine has been stable and trouble free for over a year before this started a few days ago. As far as I know there has not been any software updates or new stuff installed for a long time.
Anyone, please?
