I have the exact same problem.  Firefox had timeouts and extremely long
hangs loading pages.  I did not test other GUI apps.  However, I could
use the terminal to run updates (apt-get).

By chance, I found this behavior was linked to wireless security.  Once
I removed all my wireless security, web browsing worked normally.  I
tried using both WEP 128 bit encryption, and WPA2.  I had the same issue
both times, pages (namely ubuntu.com) would not load or would hang
somewhere along the way.

PERHAPS THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR MIGHT KNOW A BETTER PACKAGE HINT, AS I AM NOT TECH SAVVY ENOUGH TO
SUGGEST THE CORRECT ONE.
