Firefox problem with forum

Hi all,
I logged onto my work PC this morning and opened Firefox. When I began browsing the forum, I started getting the following error on every page:
The HTTP request is too long. Contact your system administrator. (HTTP_REQUEST_TOO_LONG)
Any ideas?
Jim

It's all working fine for me. Maybe it's just a temp problem at your end?
Or try clearing your cache. The thing with Firefox is that it's very, very
configurable, and people try to optimize its settings via
about:config and
this can lead to temp problems when data packets don't arrive fast enough,
etc. Are you using a default config, or have you modded it as described?
I'd say it'll all work fine again the next day. I'd bet money on it, too.

Hi PB,
Apart from the extensions that have been installed for weeks, this is the default config. I haven't altered anything in the settings so can't understand why this has started this morning.
I'm using the latest version of Firefox and have cleared all the cache etc.
<EDIT>
Hmmm, cleared the cache for the second time and rebooted. Everything seems to be working again now. Strange.
