It's probably working OK for you, but not for me. I've seen Firefox as awesome, in Windows -- could not bear slow Internet for millions of pages I browse everyday. So, I googled around and there were way too much confusion but most of them were pointing directly or indirectly that the culprit is IPv6 . I have found a easier fix (somewhere on the Internet).
Here is what you should do.
- Open Firefox and type
about:config
in address bar, hit enter. - Scroll down until you see a line like this
network.dns.disableIPv6 = false
- Double click on this line so that it becomes
network.dns.disableIPv6 = true
Now, try opening a new web-page. You should see the status-bar, it is connecting to the website quite quickly.
PS: This is the solution that worked on my machine. There might be other issues related to network that might cause page load latency. This is just one of the solutions.
