That's for ipv4 domains I believe. Actually, disableIPv6 should be left at it's default setting "false". I had the same problem as the OP when I installed firefox 2.0. Changing that disableIPv6 thingy to true, slowed things down even more :-( Turns out the setting for how firefox connects to the Internet was set for proxy. Changing this setting to direct Internet connection fixed my problem A.S.A.P. :-) I suspect this setting may fix the OP's problem as well. taharka Lexington, Kentucky U.S.A.
