If Firefox the only program that gives you problems when the 
interface is up? If so, have you tried giving it 2 minutes or so 
before giving up on it? If non-network programs also give you 
problems, then I would check your hostname before and after bringing 
up the interface, as well as the IP address it resolves to.

If waiting eventually gets you Firefox, then I would suspect a DNS 
problem while Firefox is trying to check on updates for your 
extensions. The DNS timeout is normally about 90 seconds.
