Hi,
- of course I assume that your system config files are OK, like
[jb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
[jb@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/host.conf

- look at your system services and permanently or temporarily disable
unneeded services/daemons that interact with a network/Internet,
like avahi-daemon, etc.
- in cases like this make sure that you have up to date firefox , and that
means install it from scratch (before that save your bookmarks),
remove firefox, remove ALL leftover related directories so that no data
or config caches are present (!), and install it again.
- start firefox and do not do any customized config yet; just try the same or
any other URL to see if the problem persists
- do you have any custom firefox plug-ins installed , or any other stuff for
that matter ?
Remove that extra funcy stuff and see if it helps.
- now you can look at config issues
- do you utilize any outside filter/proxy, like squid ?
- do you config proxy in firefox ?
- take a look at config via menu
- take a look at config via url about:config
Start with filter like ipv6 (you can turn it off/on and see the effect)
Btw, that was once a cause of identical firefox/chromium problem in
the past !
about:config
network.dns.disableIPv6 TRUE
Continue with filter like dns, and so on.
Remember to restart firefox if you change config (just in case, to have it
take effect).
- install other browser like Opera for testing and see if the problem persists.
