[Solved] Fire Fox Very slow to load web pages in 10.04

[rovernaut]

Seems Firefox now is very very slow to load any web pages. I tried konquerer and it opens web pages fast. I reinstalled firefox but still the same slow browser. I tried a fresh install of 10.04 and still slow. Tried to install a different version but all of firefox are the lastest

I solved it by changing "network.dns.disableIPv6: false" to network.dns.disableIPv6: true.
Speedy again

This is from an OpenSuse site, but it likely works as well for Firefox in Kubuntu: Disable IPv6 for Firefox

Look at "How to fix Firefox slow problem in ubuntu 10.04(Lucid)" - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix...0-04lucid.html

And is better to disable ipv6 to all the system with this command

kdesudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
