Hi,

having moved from sarge to etch I now have a big problem with the
browsers in the subject line: Downloading a page is incredibly slow or
even makes the browsers hang:

In all case it takes a long time for the download manager to start and
saving too is very slow. With firefox (iceweasel) I once experienced a
freeze, galeon and epiphany freeze with every attempt to save.

My suspicion is that the download manager reads first my home
directory - which is huge - and for that reason takes long to
start. But under sarge this wasn't a problem and other programs too
manage to open my home directory in a reasonable time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I heard somewhere (can't remember where) that it may be to do with ipv6 support in Mozilla. Try disabling it. Typing 'about:config' in the address bar will get you to the configuration options. You should be able to find the option from there.

After about:config <Enter>
type 'dns' in the filter space and choose

network.dns.disableIPv6

right click on it and Toggle the value to read:

true
