Firefox 3 and D-Link DIR-615 Router Issues
So a couple weeks back I thought my freaking D-Link router was shot (not working). I was having issues where I wasn’t able to login to the router administration. It would keep returning this error message to me: “The network connection seems to be down.” I was very close to buying an Apple Time Machine for 500 bucks, but I’m glad I didn’t. All it is is an issue with Firefox 3. If you just try going to the webpage in a different browser like Safari or Internet Explorer, you shouldn’t get that message. I was on the phone with D-Link tech support for quite a damn while and I’m suprised they’re not aware of this issue. I tried to suggest to the nice Filipina call operator to take note of that, but I don’t think she really cared.

I just went through this too, so you’re not alone. Was having network issues, found I couldn’t connect to my router, assumed the router was toast.
It wasn’t till I accidentally connected to it via IE that I discovered it was, in fact, a FF 3 issue.
Bizzare.
Anyways, you’re not alone. Here’s to hoping it gets fixed, or at least recognized as an issue with d-link’s tech support.
Doubt it, though.
Aha. Sorry to spam your blog, but the solution appears to be in disabling a few addons. Apparently, DownloadHelper, Firebug, and Tourbutton thus far are confirmed as problem addons. Disable them, and it works fine.
