New question #79310 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79310

When running Firefox often it takes a very long time to load a page.  Occasionally up to 15 minutes.  Opening the same page in Opera or Galeon goes very fast (even while Firefox is still waiting).

I run internet spped test (speedtest.net) on FIrefox and get 2.34 Mb/s down and 0.51 Mb/s up.  If I run it on Galeon I get 22.1 Mb/s down and 11.7 Mb/s down.

I submitted a bug about this https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401462 but it was marked invalid.
