In summery, it appears at this time that the repeated DNS problem (if it is really that) is isolated to Firefox.
A couple of things first. There is a daemon, nscd that causes DNS to cache locally.Additionally, is your Linux system using a static IP, and if so, how does it have DNS configured, through the router or locally. Then on Windows, bring up a comand prompt and run "ipconfig /all", and look at the name servers.
If nscd is not running, manually start it:"sudo service nscd start" You could also start it with the system service menu also. Also, your name servers are in /etc/resolv.confThis list should be similar to your Windows ones. It is possible that your primary name server could be offline, or far away. Since your Windows systems do not exhibit this problem, it is probably something unique to the way you have F9 configured.
You also might be able to use ping to trouble shoot the problem. Remember, with firefox, and other browsers you are possibly hitting a number of different web servers so that by not caching DNS locally, it is costing you.
