Brian,

Do any other browsers have this problem?

I haven't seen any of the IPv6 firefox issues mentioned lately, but have
you turned off IPv6?  IIRC firefox had issues timing out DNS lookups via
IPv6, before trying IPv4.

add:

alias net-pf-10 off

To /etc/modprobe.conf, unfortunately you'll have to reboot to get it to
take affect.
