Firefox was running smoothly, no problems, then all of a sudden it started taking foverever to hit a any webpage. Ping times were fine, and when i fire up konqueror, it hits pages really quick.

This is FC3 BTW.

So here's what I did,

yum remove firefox

took it out no problem, i then went and deleted all the files out from under the mozilla directory that partained to my username. Then:

yum install firefox

Firefox reinstalls, and still has connectivity issues.

Now the only changes to the network was that i enabled port forwarding on 80 for my router but that should only apply to inbound traffic.

Any thoughts anyone?

If you have IPv6 enabled in FF, try disabling it.
(about:config at address bar and network.dns.disableIPv6 to true)

Thank you. You solved my problem as well

Why do you have to do this? I've had to disable IPv6 in a few programs (firefox, thunderbird, gftp) to get them to work.

I'm problems establishing a net connection with a couple other programs and I assume the same problem. However I can't find options in these programs to disbale IPv6
