David, Thank you for the quick response. I will run the connection in split tunnel mode tomorrow and see how it goes. I use the GUI in Ubuntu to manage OpenConnect. I assume I enable the split tunnel using the following steps (please correct me if I am wrong): Network Icon --> VPN Connections --> Configure VPN... --> Edit... --> IPv4 Settings --> Routes... --> "Use this connection only for resources on its network" If that doesn't help, I will follow your next step of monitoring Firefox configuration storage. Thanks again for providing some guidance with this issue even though it's technically is outside the realm of your application.
