Hey,

Have you tried a different browser?

Do you have any plug-ins/extensions installed that might be interfering? If so, try starting FF in safe mode.

Can you list a few sites that are exhibiting the problem?

For these sites, can you properly resolve the domain names in a terminal? e.g.:

ping www.google.com
nslookup www.google.com
host www.google.com

Google is opening , but when i am opening say ten best linux softwares or some other search on any keywords:
it shows the list now i do->right click open in new tab -> it opens first link then does not open the third one and say i open 6 links 2 open up but four dont. same with opera same thing, searches in google or other its skipping around 50 % links says not found.

I installe my wireless using : yum install broadcom-wl command and i think my broadcom is Broadcom :43xx series, is it right choice or not.

I am fed up thinking to uninstall it then install Linux mint or ubuntu(but its crashes a lot of application that i install it).


Thanks.

it there any problem in firefox,

I don't think so. I'm using FireFox-12.0 with Fedora-17 . I haven't seen that issue so far.

But the point is that if i am seeing these things where could be the problem and how to sort it out. I also do not know why its happening like that...

It sounds more like flaky internet connectivity than a Firefox issue. How are you connecting to the internet?
