Hi Ruth, Do you have call waiting on your phone? If so, you will have to add *70, to your dialing number to disengage call waiting for that call. Every time a call is received by your phone while you're using it, a short beep or series of beeps sound to let you know someone is on the other line waiting fo you to answer. Since the internet is nothing more than a series of beeps, clicks and screeches, these call waiting beeps are interpreted as other messages to the internet system, possibly as a shutdown code which would result in a disconnect or a stalled connection. If you do not have call waiting, I would suggest that you check all the lines in your home. Even if a line isn't connected to your modem; just being connected to another phone and consisting of a bad wire, could result in your internet connection disconnecting or stalling. If you set Firefox to QuickStart, it start up when you boot your computer and not shut off so it will be ready when you need it, just as an icon in the lower right hand corner of the taskbar; that sometimes helps with the speed of the program, providing your computer is fast enough to handle it being active all the time.
