Firefox keeps on hanging in version 23 on Ubuntu 13.04. This bug is about to drive me to Chromium. My firefox experience has been declining instead of getting better lately.

For example, upon starting and logging into Ubuntu, I often have to change the LAN that eth0 defaults to, and directly after doing this (with the connection manager), I'll launch firefox. It seems that since I'm launching firefox at a time that the network settings having completely established connection, it is causing Firefox not to launch at all. In the past, I would expect it to perhaps launch more slowly, but lately (like I said) it doesn't launch at all (graphically) under these types of circumstances, yet in system monitor I'll see it listed there as a process that has no graphical representation on my desktop. After killing that hung process, I am then able to launch it. I've always wished that firefox would launch completely BEFORE polling for its internet connection settings. I've always despised it launching slow due to it not being able to find an internet connection. And now that I'm having issues with it not launching at all, (due to similar circumstances), I'm now proposing that firefox be coded so that it doesn't check for an internet connection before launching! I believe the GUI should launch rather immediately, and completely, before performing any of its connection probing. I digress, additionally, I'd like it to be more responsively aware of networking changes made during a session. It is frustrating when I change to another network (using connection manager) and it takes firefox a while (after the new network connection is established) to become aware that it is now operating on a different IP with a different subnet.
