Firefox – How to change the connection timeout setting in Firefox

Yes, sort of. Chrome has an option enabled by default called DNS caching/prefetching.

Usually this lets Chrome "speed up" a user's browsing experience because it caches/prefetches DNS queries.

If you're having problems, try disabling DNS prefetching under the Wrench -> Options -> Under the Hood.

edit: Chrome does not use it's own servers to do DNS lookups, it does, however, lookup all the DNS entries of the links on a page when first loaded.

It's a really dangerous thing to do, because you will not be able to detect a Man-in-the-middle attack anywhere (at home, on a public wifi...)

The solution is to add the root certificate used by your entreprise proxy as a trusted authority (CA) in your browser, as described here :

To obtain the proxy certificate, click on the lock icon near the URL of an HTTPS page, click "View certificate", and on the windows click on your proxy's certificate (like here) then export it and proceed as explained above to import it as trusted CA.
