I had similar problems with mozilla. The solution was not to allow mozilla to import the settings from an old netscape.
I removed .mozilla and renamed .netscape. The i started mozilla and it worked,
Maybe that helps.
The next problem was with my proxy. I have a local squid. When i used
localhost:3128 a the proxy i got this connection refused. After i changed it
to 127.0.0.1:3128 it worked.
Maybe it's a problem with IPv6 enabled NetBSD without IPv6.
When i telnet to my squid i get the following:
magick@bundy:~>telnet localhost 3128
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Maybe the IPv6 try confuses Mozilla.
