Without a rhyme or reason, my install of Firefox will cease to resolve some domains and just sit on the "resolving www.example.com" screen. This problem does not extend to ping or to other network applications. Konqueror works, no problems. Any guesses?

I had the same thig happen to me. I couldn't figure it out.

Hey Atlas,

Have you guys considered submitting a bug report. It would seem that it is not an issolated incident.

Either submit a bug report, or join the firefox mailing list and perhaps someone could lend a hand there.

Just some thoughts.

I took the highly technical route of using Konqueror instead. I would prefer to be using Firefox just because of the large number of plugins I finally got working. I just got back from vacation, so I might throw a few extra cycles at solving this problem. I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

Here are a few things I came across while searching mozillazine and mailing lists:

Someone using Linux; 2.6 kernel causes DNS time-outs or slow-downs, but 2.4 is A-OK:
