Thanks, Sammo. Now using version 3.0.11 from filehippo.
What is "optimized" Firefox.

(No, don't tell me. I'll go playing and get myself in deep doo-doos. )

Pigfoot's builds run much faster than the official releases. I'd get one of his or one of Tete's (http://www1.plala.or.jp/tete009/en-US/software.html)

Right. Gone back to the earlier version of Firefox. Problem persists. Not only with the browser, but with email client, (Tbird) and Limewire as well. Sounds firewall-y, but nothing has changed there.
Could even be intermittent connection, but since it generally only lasts five to fifty seconds and the modem is in a different room, it hasn't shown anything.
Couple of other software updates at a similar time, it's time to start troubleshooting, darn it.

Another good source for older versions of many browsers is:

It's strange but this morning I haven't noticed any of those delays.  ??? ??? ???

That manual proxy setting suggested by Sammo made a big difference (at least now, in the daytime), thanks a lot.  :)  It'll be interesting to see what this evening's like -- with both auto-detect and no-proxy settings, evenings have been worse.  I still think there must have been some kind of unpublicized change in FF 3.5 that makes it much more sensitive to internet delays than 3.1 was.

Another thing that might help is if you have a firewall, make sure that the rules for ashWebSv.exe include setting the outgoing TCP port to include port 80 (http port). See attached image...

I went to the Mozilla support site and found many people with complaints about Firefox 3.5.  There are a few that have had good luck, but the majority have had problems.  I, for one, will wait until I hear that Firefox 3.5 has been fixed before downloading and installing it.
Thank you for this thread as it has helped me avoid this problem.

FWIW my early troubleshooting indicates the problem in my case was not due to Firefox 3.5; it appears to be due to Secunia PSI, which was updated at a similar time.
Just caught my connection in the act of randomly not connecting, and exited the PSI, connection instantly enabled.
Seen this twice, so far. Not conclusive, but an indication, thus far.
And this is the problem when several updates occur in a small timeframe.

I think I may be one of the lucky ones, as I have had no problems with Firefox 3.5. (besides a couple of non-essential add-ons lost)

I am using the portableapps version running from a memory stick, but I don't think whether this would affect anything, besides the locations of the relevant files for it.

I have had a big improvement with the latest private FF 3.5 build by Tete. You can get it here: http://www1.plala.or.jp/tete009/en-US/software.html#FX35_VC8PGO

Sorry but I'll wait for Firefox to make the fixes. Till then I've made Chrome my default browser.  :'(

Sorry to hear that.  I guess I'm another lucky one, then.  Among all the addons, I only needed to change Tab Mix Plus to the pre-release version, which I found no problem.  The other addons on my FF are all compatible with FF3.5.

You can't use it with 3.1x versions of Firefox. I'm waiting until my necessary addons get updated.
