Kong bug or is there a setting that needs changing?

I've only tried it with one tab open in firefox (just)  but it works perfectly.
Hate to say it but for some reason firfox loaded up the ebay
home page a lot quicker than konq does.
If anybody wants to try this there is no need to actually place a bid.
Hit bid now. This takes you to either a login window or a bid entry
window. Hit bid in the bid now window and the next window asks
for the bid to be confirmed. Just close the window at that point.
Unless you want to bid!
On download speed when I use firfox I get 524 kbps and 494 kbps
when I use Konq!!!!! That's using the tiscali speed test  page that can be
easily found via google. Tiscali's connections are allways generous.

Regards
John
