Tried posting in forums but didn't get an answer. Fire fox and Thunderbird
always prompt to connect, used to work ok. Maybe someone here can help. ie
connects ok when launched so windows settings are ok. Have tried
remove/reinstall and deleted FF folder before reinstall also tried deleting
and recreate connection, Windows is set to always dial my dsl connection.
Small problem but annoying, would appreciate any responses

Enter about:config in the location bar.
Search for the pref |network.autodial-helper.enabled|, and double-click
on it. (Should set the value to false.)

maybe someone can explain how can windows dial a dsl connection?
Isn't a dsl connection always on? You don't dial into a dsl.

Hmm, what about the other internet programs and utilities? Do they have
to wait until FF is switched to on-line?

If you are talking about DSL, no, they can go online anytime they want.
If you are talking about dial-up, then it depends upon your connectoid

With DSL, the connection is always 'on' its just there, waiting to be used

Depends on the DSL provider

Some connections are always on, some not. Quest DSL used to be a dialed
connection, it would last for 2 hours before you get disconnected and
had to relog/connect.
The DSL softer provided from your provider should have an option for it.

Or it could be an option in the DSL modem itself. When I had Verizon
DSL, they gave me an external modem/router combo unit. The interface to
the PC's were ethernet.

In the internal setup pages in the modem, you had three options for the
connection. Always On, On Demand, & Manual. With On Demand, when any
outgoing traffic was detected, the modem would activate the connection.
There was a seperate setting for the timout period for inactivity.
After the timeout period expires without any traffic, the modem would
shut down the connection.

Verizon allowed Always On, so thats what I set it for, but the options
were there, in the modem, to change it. Note that this had nothing to
do with Windows' connection properties, this was all controlled in the
modem itself.
