Graphical web browsers : firefox, konqueror, epiphany are extremely slow.
However, Command-line browsers work normally, and tests on my bandwidth are ~5MB/s download.
But it takes about 10 min to load a google search.
I'm using a static (private [192.168...]) IP to my router.
I had to disable ipv6 for the graphical web browsers to even work (via editing modprob.conf w /):
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
I've been at this for many hours but have no idea what the issue is.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Is your /etc/hosts set correctly? Probably not it, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Note that at least firefox caches dns and such. So if you change related settings, you must restart firefox.
does 'wget' and 'curl -I' work fast?
maybe try midori/arora too.

Since the latest kernel disabled some config-files in relation with modprobe, check if you have blacklisted the IPv6-Modules in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and not in /etc/modprobe.conf.
If this is checked, you could also try to ping different servers and look for the response time.

Seems like a regression, somebody file a bug. I'm experiencing this on 3 different machines, dunno if it's kernel related since I'm using 2.6.31-rc1-git8 and still have the same problem. I'm not sure what's causing this. All browsers seem to suffer, firefox ~ epiphany ~ konqueror ~ arora ~ midori, disabling ipv6 in firefox seems to fix the problem.

Maybe it's the http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Con … ling_Issue ?
Try as root
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling

I had this problem before. I changed my dns server from my router to static ones and it fixed it.
