Who said anything about renaming it? My suggestion was to either disable it, or edit the code

Sorry, must have wires crossed. I posted yesterday about getip.js and renaming it, before I read about disabling External Ip. Thought you'd asked me if I had External IP installed. Your solution, VVulfe, is excellent. I've had no problems since disabling External IP, and will now alter the code in getip.js as you suggested, as with my hasty and clumsy method the problem was fixed, but External IP kept trying to load. Do you have any ideas as to how the code was altered in the first place? Thanks for your help ____ Fat. Greetings from Australia.

I don't think it was altered in the first place, I think the two scripts in question (which returned IP data), become inaccessible for whatever reason (they were removed, password protected, lost as a result of a crash) and when ExternalIP tried to query them, it went bonkers.

Once in a while firefox just won't load up a particular page... at random it does this and it's pretty aggravating. I think this started happening about a month ago for me.

You are the man. I had it narrowed down to the External IP plugin and had it disabled, but had no idea why it was broken, let alone how to fix it. So thanks! Now I can turn it on again.

If it's okay with you, I'll post a link to your resolution on my website. Thanks again!
