That URI does not resolve:

sm01@stt008:~$ LANG=POSIX; wget www.verzonwreless/b2c/index.html
--2011-11-05 12:02:34--  http://www.verzonwreless/b2c/index.html
Resolving www.verzonwreless... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `www.verzonwreless'

Unless you meant:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html

increased but nothing out of the normal for Firefox (CPU load varies from 
"2/8/24%" and ram is at "1.3" while xorg process keeps its normal values)
