I have fc6 installed. Mozilla wont go to some sites and when I try to run Konqueror it wont come up.This has happened before when I had suse installed. Problem is IE browses just fine

Proxy settings? Network connection settings? KDE or Gnome?

Hard to make sense with this info but maybe these areas need attention.

The browser can open other sites...though very slowly e.g. www.e-government.go.ke but not others e.g. www.yahoo.com I'm using Gnome

Sounds like DNS problem to me. Check /etc/resolv.conf and verify DNS addresses.

The problem may be with IPv6 ("Internet Protocol version 6"). To disable IPv6, change the preference network.dns.disableIPv6 from "false" to "true" . Here are the steps:

1. Type about:config in the address bar, press Enter.
2. Find network.dns.disableIPv6 in the list.
3. Right-click -> Toggle.
4. Restart Firefox/Mozilla Suite and try again.

If this doesn't work, re-enable IPv6 by resetting the preference to "false".
