Firefox

There isn't anything that needs to be set after upgrading. You however may want to check in network manager to see if your IP settings are correct, especially the DNS.

Also is it taking a long time loading the actual page? or is it taking a time finding the page, but once it finds it the page displays normally?

try:

mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old

Then relaunch the browser, is it faster

If Actionparsnip's solution works, fine. If not, try this solution supplied to me from Wojox:

1. Type about:config in the address bar, press Enter.
2. Find network.dns.disableIPv6 in the list.
3. Right-click -> Toggle. Set to true
4. Restart your Mozilla application and try again.

I'm sure that this will work.

I too recommend checking your DNS settings but since your upgraded,
actionparsnip's solution should work

Do you know where I can check my DSN settings?

Have you already tried to check the network-manager settings... using the top right network-manager icon...

Hth

you can also run:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

I checked the DSN but I don't know much about it. Waht should I actually look for?

Its DNS (Domain Name Service) not DSN

Can you give the output of the command as an update.

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.254

better

can you run:

gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

add these lines:

nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 208.67.220.220

save the new file and close gedit, try web browsing.

What is nameserver?

its the format of the file to add a DNS server

a name server translates humanly readable names to IP addresses for you.

OK
