I have experienced a few problems with firefox, satellite internet connection and webpage time outs. To fix this problem you need to goto the url bar in firefox and goto about:config page. A special config menu for firefox will show up and a search for timeout will display a dozen or so options. network.http.keep-alive.timeout is the entry that needs it’s value increased. I changed it from the default 300 to 1500 and the problem went away.
My neighbour at home got a new projector that boasts “HD READY” and component plugs. However on inspection there is no component plugs, indeed no plugs that can support any sort of HD. But this is incorrect, apparently the VGA port on the projector is the Component port but a separate cable is needed to convert Component to VGA. Specifically RCAx3 to D15HD. This plug doubles as a computer VGA plug and a Component plug but this took over 4 hours to figure out as its not explicitly stated anywhere even on similar projectors. I will update this post when I get the plug and see what the results are.
