flock

I recently installed the new Flock 2. I've always liked Flock and the way it integrates the browser with so many social web services. And it's now based on Firefox 3 code so it seems to run faster and more stable than before.

But right after installing and browsing a bit, I'm on Ubuntu Hardy 64 bits, I noticed my Internet connection was gone. It wasn't really gone but Flock couldn't connect to any site external to my computer.

I tried googling around and found the fix. The funny thing is that what my search returned was an article I had written with the solution some time ago. Here's the solution to the Internet connection lost in Flock in Spanish.

And here's the English version.

How to fix the connection lost problem with Flock

Open Flock and follow these steps:

• Write about:config on Flock's address bar.
• Write ipv6 to filter the parameters list.
• We're looking for network.dns.disableIPv6. Right click on it and choose Toggle to change the value to true.
• Presto! Flock now can get online without problems in Ubuntu Hardy.
