            Bug ID: 42615
           Summary: Firefox ver 52 No TCP/IP network connectivity in
                    Windows 7+Mode (Works in XP Mode)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

We are using Wine ver 2.3 with Firefox (32bit, version 52) and Adobe Flash
(version 24) in order to watch DRM streaming content in Mint Linux 18.2.

This works fine under Wine 2.3 Windows XP mode, but if we want to run Wine in
any higher Windows version (7 or higher), Firefox will  stall trying to load
the home page or any other site. It looks like the browser does not have tcp/ip
network connectivity. The page will stall (not loading because it trying to
resolve DNS or something) and Firefox will stall. Initally, we installed
Firefox and Flash under Win 7 mode successfully, but when you try to browser
the web -- nothing will load until you switch  Wine to XP mode after the
install.

This has been the case for  other versions of Firefox 32 bit (ver 40-52)  and
Adobe flash (version 23-24) and Wine 1.x to 2.3  for the past year so this is
not a new bug.

 We wanted to point out this bug now and get a fix because Firefox ver 52 is
the last version which Mozilla will release that will support Win XP. We want
to continue to stream DRM content in Linux down the road using a secure/updated
Firefox browser with your great software, Wine, but in Window 7 or higher mode.

Thanks for your help.
