Many Linux distributions ship with IPv6 enabled. IPv6 is the "next-gen" of IP addresses. Unfortunately, it tends to be slower overall than IPv4. You may see an increase in performance if you disable it.

To disable it in Firefox 3, type about:config into the address bar. Find the value named network.dns.disableIPv6and set it to true. Then close all Firefox windows and restart it.

To disable IPv6 system-wide, modify /etc/sysconfig/network as root and make sure

NETWORKING_IPV6

is set to "no". Then restart your system.
