It could be a DNS problem I suppose. Attach an strace to the firefox
process and see if it's getting stuck on a system call.
I ran an strace as you suggested; it's the first time I've used strace,
so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. It did appear to hang on a
call. Again, I'm not sure what to look for. I can attach or send an
strace if that'd be helpful -- would you be able to suggest flags or a
method of reading the output that might make it more clear?
I don't think I have a DNS problem -- firefox loads a start page just
fine. When I try to input text into anything (the address bar, google
quick search, options menu, etc) for the first time, it hangs. After
that, it's smooth sailing untill I close the program and start it again.
The behavior is 100% reproducible...
