Hello. I noticed that my firefox is taking a long time "looking up" sites, even google, so that sites that have to do multiple lookups load extremely slowly. In windows it works fine. I thought it was a dns problem so i tried using opendns 208.67.222.222 in resolv.conf but no change. I am using networkmanager but a tried wicd and had the same problem. I searched around and other users had success with making some changes to resolv.conf or hosts but I don't see what else I can change.
Here is my setup:
rc.conf
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Port_of_Spain"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(fuse !snd_pcsp)
USELVM="no"
HOSTNAME="inspiron"
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !wlan0)
ROUTES=(!gateway)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond alsa hal networkmanager samba)
hosts
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost inspiron myhost
# End of file
resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
modprobe
#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
# disable autoload of ipv6
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
Any help is appreciated.

I just started noticing this after the last ff upgrade I did.. I'm using the firefox-pgo-beta package (4.0b7)
Though DNS lookups only appear to be slow during the first few pages I browse to after starting firefox. After that it works fine..

I just blacklist ipv6 and set the host part in nsswitch.conf to "hosts: files dns".
Sex is not the answer.
Sex is the question, and Yes is the answer.

My wireless is Broadcom and I experience it while wired as well.
Tried using "options timeout:1" in resolv.conf and "hosts: files dns" in nsswitch but it didnt help.
Do i need to restart networkmanager or anything like that before my edits take effect?

Okay, I made an error when testing the nsswitch configuration. According to its man page nsswitch.conf is loaded by a process only once. The process will continue to use this configuration even if the file is changed.
Initially I had "hosts: files wins dns". Using "hosts: files dns wins" seems to have solved the problem. I had to make sure to restart my browser when testing the changes.
Thanks for all the help.
