I have updated to 5.6 - GREAT job guys...

when I do "host slashdot.org" for example it comes back immediately. when I enter slashdot.org on firefox it says "Looking up slashdot.org" for a LONG time like 15 or 20 seconds before continuing.

I have set network.dns.disableIPv6 true.

Any idea why firefox is so slow?

Apparently directly editing the prefs.js was not good enough. I found again where about:config on the address line gets me the settings, and sure enough ipv6 was not disabled. I disabled it and now its fast again.
