One possible, which is easy to check, is if you have dual IP stacks, that is IPv6 and IPv4 both present Firefox may be attempting to look up IPv6 AAAA DNS records first. It should fall back automatically.
You can check this by opening a blank tab and placing about:config in the URI bar. Hit return and in the Filter type in dns. Double-click on the entry network.dns.disableIPv6 and it will toggle from the default of 'false' to true.
Another way to test if it is DNS related is to simple place an IP address in the URI bar instead of domain name. You can either use nslookup or dig to locate the IP for a web site domain name.

Wow, that was it. It is like having a completely new browser. Thanks!!
Can you give a "nutshell" summary of the difference between IPv6 and IPV4 so that I understand what I just did when I adjusted the about:config file?
