The link for Try Again is : chrome://global/content/netError.xhtml?e=dnsNotFound&u=http%3A//www.thinkdigit.com/forum/&d=www.thinkdigit.com%20could%20not%20be%20found.%20Please%20check%20the%20name%20and%20try%20again.#

I suspect it to be a spyware.I ran MS Anti-Spy,Spy Bot S&D and Webroot Spysweeper,but the page still appears.

help!

Try to find in BOOKMARKS and then delete it...

I think you have set your homepage to thinkdigit forum site and if you are starting the browser without connecting to the net, you will get a address not found error... Try to start the browser with no pages or a blank page...

well its the FF page not found error in older versions like versions 1.0.7 or b4. This not a spyware

firefox IS spyware free. relax.
if problem persists inspite of the abovementioned advice.
uninstal it.
run ur anti-spy, ant-virus, ccleaner.
reboot.
install firefox afreash !

dont u know what they say ? : 'firefox rulz'
its a nice browser, but i prefer maxthon
(maxthon reigns !)

Its a normal DNS error dude!

Happens sometime to me also for some other sites :wink:

Don't worry.....

clean cache of firefox through option.
flush dns cache
run---> ipconfig /flushdns
