Firefox upgrade my addresses disappear

Hi,

I just switched from Firefox 1.0 PR to Firefox 1.0, using a dial-up modem
and W98 SE.

Since then one annoying bug occurs when either my connection is down, or my
firewall (ZA) is locked. Every time I click a link, whether inside the
browser or from an external link, I have the message "address xxx could not
be found. Please check the name and try again", which is normal.

But the address does not show up in the bar which is a big problem for me
because I normally load all the addresses of the pages I want to read
offline, then connect, then load all my Web pages, and then disconnect to
surf offline. I cannot do this any longer.

Anybody has an idea ?

I think there is no way to have the address shown up in the bar.
Anyway I use this workaround: if you put in your user.js file this rows:

// Instead of annoying error dialog messages, display pages:
user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);

then you'll get a page with an Address Not Found Error, but also with a "Try
again" link, so when you are on line you can click that link to have the
page loaded.

HTH,
