Thanks for the information,anish. If the above doesn't solve somebody's problem.Try this - open firefox - In the adress bar type in "about:config" - In the filter bar type in "ipv6" - Double click "network.dns.disableIPv6" so that the value turns to TRUE - Restart firefox This will speed up firefox
