OK, Bill suggested a way to speed up Ubuntu was to disable IPv6. In searching around I found a lot of information on disabling IPv6 system wide, but it can also be disabled specifically in Firefox, and it really does speed the sucker up - try it and see if you don't agree. This works in Windoze as well as Linux, and I presume on the Mac as well (will try it there next). In the Firefox address bar, type in "about:config" (without the quotes, eh?). In the Filter box, type in IPv6. You will now see only "network.dns.disableIPv6" - right click on the value "False" and toggle it to "True." That's it ...try it, you'll like it!
